A Tidal Pages Mystery - Book Three
Everyone in Harrow Cove knows how to smile when they're lying.
But in the low season, there's nowhere left to hide.
After the shocking events that shook her seaside bookshop and exposed buried secrets beneath the tide, Nora Calloway thought Harrow Cove had finally revealed all its darkest truths. The tourists have left. The summer crowds are gone. And Tidal Pages has settled into its usual quiet rhythm of creaking floors, warm tea, and whispering pages.
But winter changes everything.
When a local journalist is found dead inside a sealed, abandoned seaside hotel during the most isolated week of the year, the town is quick to call it suicide. An accident. A tragedy best left alone.
Nora doesn't believe it for a second.
Neither does Biscuit.
Because Biscuit, her aging rescue dog with an unsettling talent for sensing what others miss, refuses to go near the hotel. He whines at the shoreline. He watches people a little too closely. And for the first time, he doesn't seem curious about the truth - he seems afraid of it.
The journalist had been investigating something dangerous before she died. A pattern of missing records. Vanished fishermen. Financial irregularities buried in the harbor authority's archives. And a thread that quietly connects back to people in Harrow Cove who were never supposed to be linked at all.
As Nora begins pulling at the loose ends, she discovers that the off-season has a way of changing people. Neighbors grow defensive. Old friends stop returning calls. Entire conversations seem rehearsed, as if the town is reading from a shared script.
And then the warnings begin.
A book is returned to Tidal Pages with pages missing - all related to maritime disappearances.
A photograph is slipped under Nora's door showing her aunt standing outside the same hotel decades earlier.
And Biscuit starts refusing to enter certain rooms inside the bookshop itself.
The deeper Nora investigates, the more she realizes this case is not new. It is old. Carefully preserved. Hidden beneath layers of time, silence, and grief.
Because Harrow Cove doesn't just bury its secrets.
It rotates them.
Season after season.
Tourist season covers the noise.
Winter hides the truth.
And the low season is when the liars stop performing - and start protecting themselves.
But this time, the truth is closer than Nora realizes.
And someone in Harrow Cove is no longer content to let her keep asking questions.
As storms cut the town off from the mainland and the fog rolls in thick over the cliffs, Nora must decide how far she is willing to go to uncover the truth behind the journalist's death - and what it has to do with her aunt's final days.
Because every answer she finds leads back to the same place.
The hotel.
The harbor.
And a secret that has been waiting for the low season to return.
Perfect for fans of atmospheric coastal mysteries, clever amateur sleuths, emotional twists, and unforgettable animal companions, LOW SEASON FOR LIARS is the gripping third installment in the Tidal Pages Mystery series, where every season hides a different truth - and some lies are worth killing for.
