Murder at Sunrise

A quirky community center, two irresistible rescue animals, and a body in the yoga studio…

When big-city Alice Monroe inherits her aunt’s beloved community center in Sun Harbor, Maine, she expects a quick visit: sign the papers, sell the place, and escape back to her beige Boston life. Instead, she’s adopted by a scruffy mutt named Clyde and Winky, a one-eyed cat with attitude—and lands smack in the middle of a murder investigation.

The town’s most disliked woman is found dead in the yoga studio, and Alice—already the outsider—becomes both witness and amateur sleuth. Teaming up with Sunrise’s devoted manager, a band of quirky locals, and the frustratingly handsome Police Chief Noah Hawthorne, Alice uncovers a tangle of secrets: blackmail, betrayals, and a real estate developer who wouldn’t take no for an answer.

As Alice gets pulled deeper into small-town life (and the affections of her new four-legged friends), she starts to wonder if Sun Harbor might be the fresh start she never knew she needed. But first, she’ll have to find a killer—before her new beginning becomes a dead end.

Murder at Sunrise is a warm, witty, and twisty cozy mystery—perfect for fans of animal sidekicks, small-town secrets, and starting over.
