Sweet tea and Seaside Suspicion
(2025)(The first book in the Harper Sky Cozy Mystery series)
A novel by Lyla Ashton
She came for peace and quiet. What she found was murder, mischief… and a dog with a nose for danger.
After losing her husband, Harper Skye thought running a coastal bed-and-breakfast in quaint Haven Point would bring calm seas. Instead, she gets cryptic texts, ghostly warnings, and a drowned fisherman turning up at her dock like a bad Yelp review.
Armed with a notebook, stubborn intuition, and her labradoodle sidekick Chandler Bing, Harper plunges into a tangled web of shady dealings and seaside secrets. Her allies? A sarcastic retired chef who weaponizes lemon bars, a handyman with a protective streak, and enough nosy townsfolk to fill a bingo hall.
From a suspicious socialite to a marina manager with something to hide, the suspect list is as long as the dock—and twice as slippery.
But as Harper peels back layers of lies, someone decides she’s asking too many questions…
And in a town this charming, it’s the quiet places that hide the loudest screams.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
