Through Salt and Fog
(2026)(The fourth book in the Driftwood Harbor Bookshop Mystery series)
A novel by Veronica Mixon
A drifting sailboat. A missing man. And an accident that doesn't add up.
Three days before Thanksgiving, a sailboat is discovered drifting through the fog off Driftwood Harbor. The schooner belongs to Ted Mercer, a local contractor. His phone, wallet, and keys are still aboard—and everyone accepts the most logical conclusion: Ted fell overboard.
But his twin sister, Jill, doesn't believe it and turns to Ellie Rose Callahan, owner of the local bookshop and Driftwood Harbor's unofficial go-to mystery solver, for help.
Jill says Ted had been distracted and secretive for months. She's convinced someone is responsible for her brother's disappearance—or worse.
Ellie has to admit something about Ted's disappearance doesn't sit well with her either. An avid and experienced sailor born on these waters, Ted knew his boat and the local waterways too well for Ellie to easily accept that a foggy night had caught him off guard. She agrees to retrace the last few months of Ted's life looking for answers, only to discover more than one person with a reason to want him out of the way.
And the deeper Ellie digs, the more she's convinced she's asking the wrong questions.
Set against the warmth and sparkle of the holiday season, Through Salt and Fog is a cozy mystery filled with small-town secrets, friendship, humor, a touch of romance—and one opinionated spirit who never misses a chance to offer advice.
Welcome back to Driftwood Harbor, where even the holidays have mysteries to solve.
