Blood Money: a Novel (Lake Champlain Mysteries / William Kritlow) First edition

Bray Sanderson has just inherited a lot of money. But to his relatives, he may be worth more dead than alive. Reverend Win Brady and his fiance, Ginger are planning their often postponed wedding when their good friend, Detective Bray Sanderson, receives a substantial insurance settlement after the passing of a distant relative. When Bray accepts an invitation to his late uncle's secluded Lake Champlain island estate, Win becomes suspicious of Bray's sudden importance to a family he's been alienated from for over 25 years. Win and Ginger come to Bray's aid and are soon caught in a tangle of family history, mystery, and deceit as they confront the Sandersons with the truth of the past, while offering them hope for the future.
