Herrings, Havok, & Hazards
(2026)(The fifth book in the Tide and Thyme Cozy Mystery series)
A Story by Siobhan Sullivan
In a harbor full of secrets…
the truth won’t stay buried beneath the tide.
When a corporate fishing captain is found dead on the docks of Driftwood Harbor, the town is rocked by more than grief. Old tensions between local fishing crews and big commercial boats, resentments that have quietly simmered for years, threaten to boil over. Most residents are willing to believe the death was a tragic accident.
Lanie Kerrigan isn’t so sure.
As Tide and Thyme reopens for the busy spring season, Lanie begins to notice details that don’t quite fit the official story. With herring season in full swing and the harbor buzzing from dawn to dusk, she finds herself pulled into a mystery tangled with rivalry, long-held grudges, and secrets someone is desperate to keep hidden. The deeper she digs, the clearer it becomes: the stormy morning tide may have concealed the truth, but it didn’t erase it.
With the help of her sharp-eyed friends and the steady presence of Trooper Declan Reid, she follows the clues through fog, gossip, and half-truths. Because if she doesn’t uncover what really happened, a killer may slip away with the changing tide.
Set against the salt-air charm of Driftwood Harbor, book five in the Tide and Thyme series serves up a heartwarming cozy mystery filled with coastal vibes, sourdough creations, small-town friendships, and the promise of second chances.
