Cold Water Grave
(2025)(The third book in the Harborview Cafe Mystery series)
A novel by Emily Brewster
In a small Maine fishing village, some family secrets are worth killing for...
Tammy Harper's Daily Catch Café is buzzing with holiday cheer as Harborview prepares for the annual Christmas boat parade. But the festive mood shatters when Grace Winters—successful real estate developer and Dottie's niece—is found dead in her car at the scenic overlook.
The police call it suspicious. The town whispers suicide. But Tammy knows something doesn't add up.
Grace's husband has no alibi and a failing auto shop. Her business partner stood to gain from dissolving their troubled partnership. Her father fought with her over money the night she died. And her ex-boyfriend—who never got over their breakup—arrived in town hours after her death.
When threatening texts start appearing on Tammy's phone, she realizes the killer knows she's getting too close. And they're watching.
Armed with strong coffee, her talent for observation, and help from Harbor Master Sawyer Grant, Tammy untangles a web of fraud, family betrayal, and desperate lies. But in a close-knit community where everyone knows everyone's secrets, the truth might be hiding in the last place anyone would look...
Perfect for fans of Joanne Fluke and Leslie Meier, Cold Water Grave delivers cozy mystery with coastal Maine charm. No graphic violence, just clever sleuthing, quirky small-town characters, and a sweet slow-burn romance.
