Sidetracked by Murder
(2026)(The seventh book in the Bramble Cove Cozy Mystery series)
A novel by Maisie Diamond
Life at the Sea Holly Inn is finally beginning to feel like home for Raegan Whitlock and her loyal German Shepherd, Stryker. Between welcoming guests and uncovering Bramble Cove's rich railroad history, she's looking forward to quieter days.
That hope vanishes when respected railroad historian Wallace Pembroke is murdered aboard the town's beloved steam excursion train.
Everyone believes the evidence points to an obvious suspect. But Raegan can't shake the feeling that the investigation is unfolding a little too perfectly. A puzzling brass railroad inventory plate, anonymous warnings, and Wallace's fascination with forgotten rail sites suggest he uncovered something far more dangerous than antique memorabilia.
With Stryker's keen instincts uncovering clues others miss, Raegan follows Wallace's last investigation through abandoned rail lines and long-forgotten corners of Bramble Cove. She discovers Wallace wasn't searching for lost railroad treasures at all. He was closing in on a secret someone has spent years protecting.
Now every clue brings Raegan closer to a killer determined to keep the past buried.
Some secrets were never meant to leave the tracks.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
