Murder Under the Festival Lights

A Completely Gripping Cozy Murder Mystery

A seaside town, a snarky dog, and a murdered attorney, retirement just got deadly.

When newly retired librarian Amelia Clark arrives in Maple Shores, she’s expecting quiet mornings and jam jars, not festival chaos and a dead state's attorney under the fireworks. “Greg the Guillotine” was known for ruining lives, and nearly every local has a grudge, including Amelia’s childhood best friend Nora.

Armed with her sharp eye for detail and her dog Duke’s uncanny nose for trouble, Amelia dives into the mystery, fueled by her late Aunt Eleanor’s cryptic journals and a burning need to clear Nora’s name. But the deeper she digs, the messier it gets.

Suspicion swirls around Sylas, the gruff fisherman who clashed with the victim, and Jasper, a jittery handyman caught bribing festival officials. Both men had a motive, but so did half the town.

As secrets unravel and danger creeps closer, Amelia must stay one step ahead of a killer who’s desperate to stay buried. Because in Maple Shores, some family secrets kill to stay hidden.
