A BODY ON THE BOARDWALK
A Bayshore Bluff Mystery
by Lisa D. Welgo
In the charming coastal town of Bayshore Bluff, mornings are meant for quiet walks along the boardwalk, warm coffee, and the gentle rhythm of the tide.
But one morning, that rhythm is broken.
When a local man is found dead along the boardwalk, what first appears to be a tragic incident quickly begins to unravel into something far more complicated. The details don't quite line up. The timing feels too precise. And beneath the calm surface of this close-knit town, something doesn't sit right.
Helena Blackstone notices.
She always does.
With a keen eye for subtle shifts-where light falls, where shadows linger, where something is just slightly out of place-Helena begins to piece together a truth others overlook. What she finds is not a single moment gone wrong, but a carefully layered sequence of choices, secrets, and miscalculations.
And she's not alone.
Zinna, with her sharp wit and instinct for what doesn't hold its shape, brings both humor and insight as the mystery deepens. Margo offers a steady, intuitive presence, grounding each step forward. Together, they navigate a web of quiet tensions, unspoken connections, and truths that refuse to stay hidden.
As suspicions shift and the town leans toward easy answers, one name rises above the rest-an outsider, distant and guarded.
But Helena isn't convinced.
Because sometimes the person who doesn't belong... isn't the one you should be watching.
As the pieces begin to fall into place, Helena uncovers a truth far more unsettling than she expected: this wasn't a sudden act.
It was something set in motion long before that morning.
In a town where everyone knows each other-or believes they do-A Body on the Boardwalk is a warm, richly layered cozy mystery filled with quiet tension, heartfelt moments, and a reveal that unfolds with both emotional depth and unexpected clarity.
Perfect for readers who love:
- Small-town charm with hidden secrets
- Strong, thoughtful female sleuths
- Light humor woven into suspense
- Twists that feel earned-not forced
- Stories where the truth is found in the details
- A richly layered cozy mystery perfect for fans of authors such as Kate Carlisle, Ellery Adams, and small-town mysteries with heart
Because in Bayshore Bluff...
nothing is ever quite as simple as it first appears.
If you enjoyed Dead Calm & Carry On and Moonlight, Crab Shells, and Lies, return to Bayshore Bluff for another unforgettable mystery filled with warmth, friendship, and unexpected twists.
