Homicide at the Seaside Inn
(2025)(The first book in the Tessa Caldwell Cozy Mystery series)
A novel by Opal Webb
Murder at the inn. Secrets backstage. Scones served with sabotage.
Tessa Caldwell pictured her seaside B&B opening week filled with cinnamon and sea breezes, not a troupe of drama queens—or a body under her balcony.
When troupe manager Randall Barrington is found dead, police shrug ‘accident.’ Headlines blame her shoddy renovations. But splintered railings and suspicious alibis suggest murder.
Tessa is determined to clear her name and save her fledgling B&B. With the help of her tabby Marmalade, her crusty neighbor Henry, and her bestie Mira, she dives into the mystery.
Only, the small town theatre world is full of suspects including Professor Kline, who clashed hotly with the victim before his demise. Grandiose director, Lionel, forever stifled, nursing wounds from every slight and Joey, the pompous leading man, with a bruised ego and a temper sharp enough to kill.
With cancellations piling up faster than dirty teacups Tessa must unmask the culprit soon, or it won’t just be her inn’s debut that’s crushed, it could be curtains for Caldwell herself.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
