A seaside bed and breakfast. A storm that traps everyone inside. And a secret that refuses to stay hidden.
Saltwind House is known for warm lights, fresh tea, and the steady comfort of routines. For June Holloway, hosting a cozy bed and breakfast by the sea was supposed to mean calm mornings, polite guests, and nothing more dangerous than oversteeped tea.
Then a storm rolls in.
When an unexpected guest is found gravely injured during a blackout, Saltwind House becomes a closed circle of alibis, secrets, and carefully maintained smiles. With ferry service suspended and no one able to leave, every guest becomes a suspect-and every detail suddenly matters.
June isn't a detective. She's a host.
But years as an event planner taught her how to read people, manage tension, and notice what others miss. As fear spreads through the house, June begins to see the cracks beneath the surface: evasive answers, controlled reactions, and small behaviors that don't quite fit.
Someone is watching.
Someone is directing the night.
When anonymous messages begin arriving and clues point toward the lighthouse looming over the foggy coastline, June realizes this isn't just about one injured man. It's about control-and how far someone will go to protect the version of the town they've carefully curated.
Between shared cocoa, forced civility, and a growing sense of danger, June must uncover the truth before the storm clears and the culprit disappears back into the safety of normal life.
Murder by the Sea is a cozy mystery filled with seaside atmosphere, a sharp but warm-hearted amateur sleuth, and suspense that simmers beneath comfort. With no graphic violence and a focus on character, setting, and clever deduction, it's perfect for readers who love mysteries where the danger is real-but always wrapped in charm.
Settle in, pour a cup of tea, and remember:
in quiet coastal towns, the sea hears everything...
and it never forgets.
