The Tide Between Us: A Harbor Cove Mystery

She came home to bake bread. She found a body instead. When her marriage collapses, Nora Gallagher returns to Harbor Cove, Maine, to run her late aunt's bakery and learn how to be alone. The town has other plans. On the night of the autumn festival, Nora finds the body of Vivian Crane, the richest and most feared woman on the coast, at the foot of a lighthouse that has been locked for thirty-one years. Suspicion falls on Eli Ward, the quiet boat builder with a homicide detective's past and every reason to want Vivian gone. But Nora's aunt left behind more than recipes. Hidden in a battered blue tin, in a will nobody was meant to find, lies a secret that has shaped the town for three decades, and someone beloved by everyone is willing to kill to keep it buried. The deeper Nora and Eli dig, the closer they grow to each other, and to a killer the whole town trusts. A love story. A murder. A town full of secrets. Fully illustrated, with original artwork opening each of its twenty-two chapters, The Tide Between Us is a small-town romantic mystery about coming home the long way, falling in love in the middle of a storm, and the tide that returns everything, in its own time. Even the truth. For readers of cozy coastal mysteries and clean romantic suspense.
