The Missing Ledger
(2026)(The first book in the Mosslight Inn Mystery series)
A Story by Widdy Thorne
Ruby Fontaine came to Mosslight Inn to sell it.
She never expected to inherit a murder.
When retired nurse Ruby arrives at the crumbling seaside inn she's unexpectedly inherited, she plans to fix the roof, empty the closets, and leave Stoneport, Maine behind for good. But an elderly guest's antique writing box—and the secret hidden inside it'''has other plans.
Within days, the town's beloved historian is dead, a century-old letter surfaces with no name attached, and Ruby finds herself unraveling a mystery that starts in 1911 and refuses to stay buried.
With a sharp-eyed sheriff, a scene-stealing raven named Edgar, and a housekeeper who seems to know more than she's telling, Ruby will have to decide whether solving the past is worth risking everything in the present—including the inn she never meant to keep.
The Missing Ledger is a heartwarming, twisty cozy mystery novella and the perfect introduction to the Mosslight Inn Mysteries—for fans of small-town secrets, found family, and mysteries that reach back further than anyone expects.
Genre: Mystery
