Estate appraiser Callie Vance has walked through hundreds of estates. She knows the difference between clutter and secrets. At Crest Point Manor—a three-story saltbox perched on a bluff above Breaker Cove—the secrets are the kind people drown for.
She's been hired to catalog and liquidate the coastal estate of Douglas Hale, whose death was ruled an accidental drowning. The commission should be routine. Then Winston, her Bloodhound, alerts to the boathouse—and what Callie finds there isn't on any inventory list.
A hidden logbook. Contemporary entries. And the unmistakable shape of a local motive that the official report missed entirely.
Callie doesn't carry a badge. She carries a clipboard, a camera, and twelve years of knowing exactly what belongs in a room and what doesn't. Working the tight-knit harbor community of Breaker Cove—where everyone watched the bluff that night and no one's saying what they saw—she has to piece together a timeline from a dead man's belongings before the estate sale scatters the evidence for good.
Saltwater Secrets is a clean, cozy mystery with dry wit, a working scent dog, and the quiet satisfaction of evidence assembled into something that holds.
Perfect for fans of classic cozy mysteries, coastal settings, and amateur sleuths with more patience than the police.
Genre: Mystery
