Iris Desmarais only meant to stop in Palmetto Cove for lunch.
But the Florida marina has a way of rearranging plans. Between the steady rhythm of dock life, a growing line at her food truck, and a stray dog named Biscuit who seems determined to make friends with the entire town, Iris begins to wonder if passing through might turn into staying.
Then the marina manager turns up dead.
The police say it was an accident. Most of the town seems ready to agree.
But Iris has spent enough time in small towns to recognize when a story is being smoothed over—and the more she notices, the clearer it becomes that Marcus Hale had been keeping more than boat schedules running smoothly.
Favors. Debts. Quiet pressure.
Someone in Palmetto Cove believed the only way out was murder.
Now Iris must untangle a web of loyalty and obligation before the truth sinks beneath the surface—and before the town decides some questions are better left unanswered.
A warm, witty coastal mystery filled with food, community, and the complicated ways people belong. Perfect for fans of small-town cozies and seaside intrigue.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
