Death at High Tide

A Coastal Bakery Cozy Mystery

Nelly Hartley left her old life behind to open a cozy bakery in the charming coastal town of Rolling Wave Cove. With her loyal English Bulldog Bruno snoring under the counter and the smell of fresh-baked scones drifting out to the weathered boardwalk, she's finally found her place in the world. But when a notorious food critic with a talent for cruelty turns up dead behind her shop, Nelly realizes this peaceful seaside community is hiding secrets darker than the bottom of a coffee cup.

The sheriff calls it an accidental drowning, but Nelly's not so sure. The tide charts don't add up, Bruno sensed something wrong hours before the body was found, and it seems like half the town had a reason to want Gordon Finch silenced forever. With the help of her sharp-tongued best friend Trudy and her own keen instincts, Nelly starts asking questions—and the answers lead her down a dangerous path where nothing is as it seems.

Welcome to Rolling Wave Cove, where the pastries are warm, the community is close-knit, and even the most bitter endings can have a hint of sweetness. Perfect for fans of cozy mysteries with heart, humor, and just the right amount of suspense, Death at High Tide introduces an unforgettable amateur sleuth who proves that the best recipes for solving murder require equal parts intuition, persistence, and a very good dog.
