Murder at the Marina

A Cozy Coastal Small Town Double Murder Mystery

A small-town celebration, a scandalous ex-client, and a seaside secret that refuses to stay buried.

Former PR pro Paisley Penrose thought she’d left crisis behind—until a disgraced former client turns up dead near the marina with his rented boat nowhere to be found.

Now officially advising the investigation, Paisley, with the help of her miniature Labradoodle Noodle, must navigate small-town whispers and big-city lies. But she’s not the only one chasing the truth. Rumors of hidden treasure have half the coast in a frenzy.

Suspects abound: the victim’s bitter ex-wife, Sabrina, left broke and betrayed by scandal; Casey, the dockhand caught lying about the boat’s return; and Riley, the elusive caretaker searching for more than linens in the victim’s rental cottage.

When a second death sends shockwaves through the harbor, rumor turns deadly—and the killer’s trail drifts dangerously close to Paisley’s doorstep.

With help from handsome detective Grant Holloway, her own sharp instincts, and the ever-curious Shoreline Circle, Paisley must uncover the truth before she becomes the next victim.
