The Reckoning Tide
(2026)(The eighth book in the Sealight Cove Cozy Mystery series)
A Story by Miranda Rose Barker
The tide has revealed a body... and a secret that was never meant to surface.
When an extraordinary king tide strips away centuries of sand along Sealight Cove's rugged shoreline, candle maker Nora Hale expects curious treasure hunters and forgotten shipwrecks.
No one expects murder.
A man's body is discovered tangled among the ancient remains of long-lost vessels, carrying no identification and only a mysterious hand-knotted bracelet that seems to hold the first clue to his identity. As Police Chief Brynn Sullivan begins her investigation, Nora and her loyal wire-haired companion, Rufus, are drawn into a mystery reaching far beyond one tragic death.
Rufus has sensed something long before the tide exposed its grim discovery. Through the mysterious bond they share, he feels echoes of secrets buried beneath the waves, fragments of memories that refuse to stay hidden.
As Nora follows a trail through old maritime traditions, forgotten shipwrecks, and lives connected by the sea, she discovers that some secrets are not lost.
They've simply been waiting for the right tide.
With another life hanging in the balance, Nora must uncover the truth before the past claims another victim.

Filled with memorable characters, a charming coastal setting, gentle humor, a loyal canine companion, and an intriguing murder to solve, it's perfect for readers who enjoy traditional cozy mysteries with heart and a whisper of the unexplained.
