Ghost Lights at Gull Island
(2025)(The fifth book in the Ellie Martin Adirondack Murder Mystery series)
A Story by Vivian Vale
Book 5 in the Adirondack Mysteries Series
Some lights illuminate the truth. Others conceal deadly secrets.
When high school English teacher Ellie Martin and her faithful canine companion Watson sign up for a "Haunted History" camping trip on Gull Island, they're expecting ghost stories around the campfire—not an actual murder.
Famous for its mysterious blue-green lights that hover above the ground where twelve loggers vanished without a trace in 1879, Gull Island holds secrets both ancient and new. When the enthusiastic tour guide Amelia Vaughn is found dead near a crumbling footbridge after revealing she's discovered something valuable beneath the island, Ellie finds herself drawn into her fifth Adirondack mystery.
Trapped on the isolated island with an increasingly dangerous storm—and a killer—Ellie must untangle a web of historical clues, modern deception, and conflicting motives. Could the century-old disappearance of the logging crew be connected to Amelia's death? What does the strange illumination that appears on certain nights reveal about the island's hidden treasures? And which of her fellow campers is hiding a murderous secret?
As the legendary ghost lights illuminate the night, Ellie discovers that the most dangerous shadows come not from supernatural phenomena, but from the darkness of human greed.
From the picturesque shores of the Fulton Chain of Lakes to a storm-ravaged Victorian sheriff's station, "Ghost Lights at Gull Island" delivers the perfect blend of atmospheric suspense, clever clues, and Adirondack charm that fans of the series have come to love.
Join Ellie and Watson for their most illuminating adventure yet—where history, murder, and mystery converge beneath the spectral glow of the ghost lights.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
