Harboring a Killer
(2026)(The second book in the Tessa and Scout Cozy Mystery series)
A novel by Pippa Fenwick
The blessing has begun. The harbor smiles for the crowd. Then a body appears on the dock.
Tessa Benett’s latest organizing job in Gull Harbor should have been simple: sort the late harbormaster’s papers while the Blessing of the Fleet is underway.
Instead, Harbor Board chair Gideon Keller turns up dead in full view of the festival crowd.
The town suspects an accident. The harbor records suggest otherwise.
Gideon’s desk had been searched. And a missing document holds the key that is threatening the town’s working waterfront.
The suspects all had something to lose—and something to hide. The dockmaster Gideon planned to replace. A shrimper whose livelihood was on the line.
With the festival ongoing and the evidence disappearing one by one, Tessa and her terrier Scout must uncover what Gideon found before the killer buries the truth—and Gull Harbor’s future—with it.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
