Get a Life, Sandi
(2026)(The third book in the Balefire Bay Cozy Mystery series)
A novel by Shannon Symonds
Lightning strikes. A man's primal scream cuts the coastal gale. And Sandi is the only witness.
When the power goes out in Balefire Bay, Sandi is left in the dark with one terrifying question: Did the killer see her too? She can't call 911—not again, not after all the times before.
She's spent 20 years being the perfect mother and wife. Now her husband has passed away. Her daughter, Wendi, is off to college. Sandi's world has gone quiet. Wendi's last words won't stop ringing in Sandi's ears: Get a life. Smiling and laughing, she gave Sandi a checklist of suggestions, including joining a book club.
Fine. She will. But her checklist will look a little different. Number one: Solve a murder.
Now, with a book club to lean on and one very handsome Officer Flynn to distract her, Sandi has to crack the case before she loses her new friends one by one.
You will love traveling with Sandi as she learns she is so much more than a girl raised in foster care who loves to bake. She is a courageous woman who conquers her self-doubt and creates a life as sweet as cherry pie.
Open the cover and start on page one. Escape to Balefire Bay. It isn't just a small town—it's friends who'll never leave you, secrets in the fog, and recipes passed down by women who've always lived by the sea.
You may close the book and put it on your shelf, but the story will stay with you long after the sea carries you back to shore.
