Murder on the High Seas. Thomas Thornton reads the newspaper article.

Can the murder of a young German man, fatally stabbed during a voyage out of London to Melbourne, have anything to do with the Thorntons? Alexandra’s curiosity is piqued when a Prussian Count, who travelled on the same ship, shows up at Thornton Antiques in search of a rare amber postage stamp.

Alexandra Thornton and Benedict Archer have been married for one year. Benedict is estranged from his family, who own a vineyard in the Barossa Valley in South Australia. Alexandra urges him to try to heal the breach.

Murder. A strange count searching for a rare stamp. A missing opal. A family in turmoil. How are they all connected?

When a dark secret of betrayal and loss is exposed, Alexandra finds her world shattered.

    The Amber Trap is the third Thornton mystery featuring Alexandra Archer, formally Thornton. The story opens over breakfast in the morning room with news of a German man murdered on a cruise ship.

    I was instantly invited to breakfast and took my place at the table. The topic under discussion was the morning newspaper headline of “Murder on the High Seas”. I could have heard a pin drop; that is if I were really sitting at the breakfast table. Read effortlessly brings the reader into the very midst of the mayhem with each turning of the page.

    Murder. A strange count. A rare stamp. A missing opal. A family in turmoil. Is there a connection? When a dark secret of betrayal and loss is exposed, Alexandra finds her world shattering and it takes all of her inner strength to keep it together. This book showed another side of Alexandra which I found endearing and most interesting.

    Read took me on a whirlwind trip to the vineyards of the Barosa Valley in south Australia in an attempt to mend broken family fences between Benedict and his family. Little did Alexandra know what she was uncovering and at what cost.

    Did I mention that this story is my favorite so far? I love spending time with the Thorntons as there is always a surprise, a suspenseful nail biting moment or two and lots of I love yous and, of course, stardust. <sigh>
    A suspenseful ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
