A Case of Deception By the Sea
(2026)(The fourth book in the House Sitter Mystery series)
A novel by Mara Webb
A CLIFFTOP TOWN WITH A KILLER VIEW. LITERALLY.
Penelope Bridges has found her favorite assignment yet: sunrise walks on the beach, a coffee shop that already knows her order, and a bakery she visits far more often than she'll admit. It's the perfect small-town welcome — until a body turns up to ruin it.
Her companion for the next twelve weeks is Rolo, a Golden Retriever with two speeds: joyful chaos or fast asleep. He starts every day with enthusiasm, loves to fetch, and is one cannonball away from getting banned from the neighbor's pool.
Then a beloved arts patron turns up dead on the rocks below the bluff. Rogue wave, says the sheriff. Case closed.
Penny checks the tide chart. The tide was out. Case reopened.
Everyone in town has a story for the police. Not all of them are true. Old grudges. Missing alibis. Fake tears. Penny is good at spotting lies, and this charming little town is full of them.
Good thing she brought a very large notebook.
The House Sitter Mysteries — because some people just can't switch off.
