The Moria Pearls

A missing necklace, a murder, and an extra helping of plum pie...

The magical Moria Pearls are hidden somewhere in Devon, and Miss Elinor Avely and the tiny vampire Miss Zooth are on the case - but a certain washed-up selkie prince is determined to find the powerful necklace before they do.

Pearls aren't diamonds, curse it, so Elinor's secret gift for divining jewels cannot help this time. And the bossy Lord Beresford would rather she stay out of trouble. His lordship's opinion holds some weight, given Elinor is hoping he might kiss her again.

When a selkie's murder disrupts the Devonwide hunt, however, Elinor is backed into a troubling corner. She might be able to find both the Moria Pearls and the killer ... but everyone still believes that Miss Zooth is the jewel diviner. Somehow, Elinor and her vampiric chaperone must maintain the façade, extend Elinor's divining gift, and find the pearls before the murderer does ... or risk forfeiting their lives.

Who poisoned the selkie? Where are the pearls? And just why does that plum jam taste so good?
