Murder at the Salt and Lantern
(2026)(The first book in the Tess Channing Coastal Cozy Mystery series)
A Story by Poppy Grier
A fresh start after divorce wasn’t supposed to include murder.
Tess Channing arrives in Seabrook Cove for a quiet reset, just her cat, Petals, and a carefully planned new life. Instead, she inherits a creaking Victorian inn and a town that seems to know more about her than she does.
By her third day, a developer is found dead at the bottom of the inn’s cellar stairs. Petals is the only witness who won’t lie, and gossip moves faster than the sheriff’s cruiser.
When Tess unlocks a hidden room, she uncovers a past her aunt never explained—one involving a town official who clashed with the victim and a real estate agent with a vested interest in the inn.
Now every conversation comes with a warning, and someone she’s starting to trust has a reason to keep the truth buried.
If Tess pulls the wrong thread, she could lose everything she’s just begun to claim.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
