In a small Maine fishing village, a nor'easter hides more than just wind and rain...
When a massive storm bears down on Harborview, Tammy Harper's Daily Catch Café becomes the town's gathering place for storm preparation and gossip. But the morning after the tempest passes, retired fisherman Jack Porter is found dead in his home—smothered during the height of the storm when no one would hear or see anything.
The police say murder. The town whispers about suspects. But Tammy knows untangling this mystery won't be easy.
Jack's daughter desperately needs money for her sick child's medical treatments and stands to inherit his valuable waterfront property. His brother has been pressuring him for months about family land Jack wanted to sell. His neighbor fought with him over a bitter property dispute. And his home health nurse was accused of theft—though Jack's dementia made every accusation suspect.
As Tammy digs deeper, she discovers Jack wasn't the confused old man everyone thought. His journal reveals a pattern of visits, lies, and desperation that pointed to murder. But in a town where the storm gave everyone cover and trust was the killer's greatest weapon, finding the truth means understanding what drives someone to the unthinkable.
Perfect for fans of Joanne Fluke and Leslie Meier, Storm Warning delivers cozy mystery with coastal Maine charm. No graphic violence, just clever sleuthing, quirky small-town characters, and a sweet slow-burn romance.
