This is a riveting, murder thriller. I loved all the attention to detail, as the plot thickened, giving you enough clues along the way, but no way to really figure it out till the very last page. I definitely did not see that ending coming! It reminded me of Agathe Christie, John Le Carré, or James Patterson, all authors I love. Hoping this becomes a movie or series!

“I also grew up in Carmel and Big Sur, and this a perfect snap shot of what it was like, growing up in that very special place. The writer, Fiona Mackenzie, has perfectly captured the magic and beauty of the landscape, as well as the vibrant, colorful characters living there. This is a murder mystery page turner! I couldn’t put it down and I can't wait to read the next book in the series!"

As an Asian woman living in New York, I loved not just the sweeping romance, but also the well-rounded characters and diversity represented in the storytelling of Murder in Pebble Beach. It reminded me of TV shows I love, like Bridgerton or White Lotus. The characters stayed with me long after I finished reading. I don’t know if this is a mystery, romance or thriller, or all three! But I can’t wait for the next book. Highly recommend!

Loved this book and couldn’t put it down. And it made me think of Succession, Big Little Lies, or Revenge…all shows I love. Hoping it gets made into a movie or series! The characters pop off the page, all in a very glamourous setting. This is the first in a series, and I adored the way there are several key characters from the UK, which suggests the next book might take us on a journey back to England, Scotland or Ireland, where my own family is from. This is a sexy, fun read! Can’t wait for the next one!

This book is an absolute page-turner! A high-stakes family power struggle, a vanished billionaire, and a murder mystery wrapped in wealth and deception—what more could you want? The suspense is razor-sharp as Darcy Worthington is thrust into a battle for her father’s empire while uncovering shocking betrayals. The lush setting of Pebble Beach, combined with a rekindled romance, adds even more depth to this gripping story. With masterful pacing, unexpected twists, and a cast of deliciously devious characters, this novel is pure, unputdownable drama. Highly recommended!
