Perfect for fans of upmarket mysteries by Nevada Barr, Louise Penny, and Tana French.
Cole Walker designed the Glass Lodge at Octopus Cove to disappear into the landscape-cedar and glass, forest and water, a building that belonged to the land instead of being imposed upon it. It was one of the first projects he took on his own terms after walking away from his firm, and every summer he returns to the found family he built alongside it - Sam, the Lodge's sharp-eyed manager, chief among them.
This year, a diving accident shatters the Lodge's careful peace. The sheriff calls it a careless diving accident. But Cole sees what grief and convenience overlook: the gear was a facade, each element correctly present, none of it functioning. Whoever assembled it knew the vocabulary but not the grammar. For the family mourning someone they loved, careless is the wrong epitaph. For a man who gave three decades to this water, it is an erasure. Cole cannot give them back what they lost. But he can refuse to let the loss be misnamed-in a place that still carries that man's name in every beam and boulder.
Calling again on Captain Sela Blackwell of State Patrol, who helped him expose an environmental crime the summer before, he follows a trail of details that whisper of intention rather than accident-through a community where land is memory and memory is currency-past a developer measuring the shoreline in profit, a nephew eyeing his inheritance, and a woman carrying a revenge a year in the making.
Threatening notes appear under his door. His own dive gear is sabotaged mid-dive. When the Loop Trail footbridge gives way beneath them, Cole hauls Sam back from the edge with seconds to spare. None of it makes him stop until he has the answers.
Some deaths are accidents. Some are architecture. And some require a particular point of view to realize the difference.
