Last Seen in Sea Isle
by Jane Kelly (A Meg Daniels Mystery, #7)

Meg Daniels should know by now that wherever she goes, mystery follows. Her fiancé is taking classes at Stockton University and has befriended Grace Grant, a fellow later-in-life student. Under false pretenses, Grace asks Meg to visit her lavish beachfront house in Sea Isle City, New Jersey, on the same weekend she’s hosting a reunion of pals from the summer of 1969. Meg discovers that Grace is hoping she’ll track down Guy—last name unknown—who disappeared from Grace’s life on the day of the moon landing.
