All That Glitters. Pine Lake Inn Cozy Mystery, #11

An exploding kitchen... A theft... Another mystery to solve! When Dell Powers is ripped out of an interesting dream by the room shaking around her she is confused, dazed and in fight-or-flight mode. What on earth was that? A soufflé apparently. How on earth can a soufflé cause an explosion? Rosie Ryan holds the answer. Discovering a massive hole in the kitchen wall Dell resigns herself to the fact that there's another insurance claim in her immediate future. When local builders are brought in to renovate, an old chest is unearthed while digging in preparation for the new foundation. They soon realize this chest is from the famous Port Cygnet train robbery and is likely filled with stolen gold. After locking it securely inside the inn, Dell retires to her room only to find a new ghost waiting for her, who was likely involved in said train robbery. Kevin Powers calls in an expert to appraise their find but the contents of the chest go missing before he gets there. Can Dell figure out where it's gone before it's lost forever? They say all that glitters is not gold, but sometimes, it truly is!
