An old lighthouse. A grieving sister. A cat with an uncanny sense for secrets. And a mystery that refuses to stay hidden…

Still reeling from her sister’s unexpected death, artist Emily Harper isn’t convinced Becky’s fall down the grand staircase was an accident. But when a hidden journal resurfaces—along with cryptic notes and eerie visions—Emily begins to suspect her sister was on the verge of uncovering something dangerous.

Then a body is discovered at Bass Harbor Head Lighthouse, and the past crashes into the present. A local historian has been murdered—one who may have known the truth about Becky’s final days.

With storm clouds rolling in, a killer determined to keep the past buried, and a locket that raises more questions than answers, Emily must decide: should she chase the truth, even if it leads her straight into danger?

Fans of Ellery Adams and Carolyn Hart will love this twisty, atmospheric paranormal cozy mystery filled with Maine charm, long-buried secrets, and a heroine who refuses to let the past rest—no matter what it costs.

Listen now and uncover the mystery today.

The use of the same descriptions over & over, and I’m talking in the same paragraphs, not chapters!!, marred the listening of a good story.

Good plot but tiresome descriptions

I managed to force my way through two of the books but have now given up. The story line just repeats and repeats itself. Unbelievable scenarios, where the main characters are faced with a ‘ruthless’ killer but due to a ‘miracle’ which would be better suited to child fiction book they have escaped for the umpteenth time. Just lacks a credible story.

Hard to Believe Storyline

There's a neat story fighting to get out of the heart racing, lip chewing. breath hitching narrative. There's only so many times you can listen to how a main character's heart raced/pounded/stopped; breath hitched and lip chewed before it's a distraction from the story itself. So much of a distraction that I can't bring myself to finish it.

A good editor would make a significant difference.

Sorry to be negative, I appreciate the effort it takes to write anything.

An interesting story wrapped in too much minutiae
