Murder on Cape Cod: Books 5-8
(2026)(A book in the Molly McBeal Cozy Mystery series)
An omnibus of novels by Maple Quinn
Four deaths. One seaside town where the warmest welcome hides the oldest secret.
Former therapist Molly McBeal came to Blue Heron Bay to pour coffee, not to bury neighbors. But Star's Landing has become the place where people say the thing they can't say anywhere else — and Molly, who spent a career listening for what wasn't said, can't stop hearing it.
Her partner in all of it is Star, a mini Aussiedoodle whose eyes tell her what people won't: azure when all is well, navy when something isn't, and once in a great while, a gray that means real danger. Star stops at the gate no one else walks past. Star growls at the neighbor everyone else trusts.
Across four full-length mysteries, Molly follows the wrongness beneath the surface: a body nobody thought to look for, a harbor poisoned while the dolphins abandon the bay, a man dead at the end of a breakwater no one walks by accident, and someone dead at dawn as the dolphins finally come home.
Read together, they tell one longer story — a bay that empties and fills again, and a woman who keeps choosing to notice.
In Blue Heron Bay, the polished smile is the one to watch.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
