The Lighthouse Secret
(2025)(The second book in the Dog Walking Detective series)
A Story by Daisy Stone
Megan Brown thought solving one murder was enough for a lifetime. She's happy being just a dog walker in the cozy coastal town of Maplewood Cove—walking her clients' dogs, dating the local coffee shop owner (sort of), and keeping her beagle-corgi Biscuit out of trouble.
But when her newest client acts paranoid about using the front door and ends up dead at the base of the historic lighthouse, Megan can't look away. Especially when the victim's rescue collie teams up with Biscuit to uncover evidence of a forty-year-old murder.
The lighthouse property has been fought over for decades. Families destroyed. Reputations ruined. And someone has been killing to keep those secrets buried.
As Megan digs into the past, she realizes that the harmless old man in the nursing home isn't so harmless—and that some people will do anything to protect what they've stolen.
With Biscuit's nose leading the way and danger around every corner, Megan must solve a cold case before she becomes the next victim. Because in Maplewood Cove, the past never stays buried for long.
Perfect for fans of cozy mysteries with amateur sleuths, small-town secrets, and dogs who always know more than they should.
While this is Book 2 in the Dog Walking Detective series, it can be read as a complete standalone—all mysteries are fully resolved, and no prior knowledge of the series is required.
