BOARD TO DEATH: A Brindlewood Bay Mystery

The Mavens are heading out for the weekend to Ludo Island, a windswept rocky islet a couple miles off the coast of Brindlewood Bay. Accessible only by boat, the island is home to the mysterious Octavius Black, a private detective and collector. Increasingly reclusive since he purchased the island and its single Victorian mansion, he is never seen in Brindlewood Bay, coming and going by boat or seaplane on the rare occasions that he leaves. 

However this weekend Mr. Black is hosting several guests, and his housekeeper Pearl Grey, a local and friend to at least one of the Mavens, has asked them to assist her with the preparations. The Mavens have agreed, if only for the chance to check out the secluded island, which in addition to the mansion has several species of rare seabirds which nest on its shore.

Little do they know, murder is afoot!
