Former postal investigator Mara Vale returns to Saltwick for her aunt's funeral with one practical plan: sell Lantern House, clear its debts, and leave town again.
The inn's final booking is the wedding of a wealthy developer's daughter. Completing it will preserve the sale. Cancelling it will bankrupt the estate.
Then a cream envelope appears inside the red mailbox bolted to the lobby wall, even though the wall behind it is solid stone. The handwriting belongs to Lydia Rowe, the bride's mother, who died eighteen years ago.
Her message is brief: Arthur Rowe will be dead before the tide turns. Mara will be blamed. Do not let Lydia's sister give the bride away.
Postmarked Dead is the first Dead Letter Inn Mystery, an atmospheric paranormal cozy mystery with a complete murder investigation, a sharp midlife heroine, a windswept coastal setting, strained family loyalties, and a one-eyed cat who reaches the mailbox before the mail does.
