Shadows of the Past

Seabrook Cozy Mystery Series

When art conservator Chloe Harper receives an anonymous donation at the Seabrook Museum—complete with a mysterious 1930s journal and a coded map—she uncovers a decades-old secret buried deep in the town’s past. The journal belonged to Margaret Wheeler, a pioneering lighthouse assistant who vanished during a storm in 1935. But her haunting final entry suggests she didn’t disappear by accident.

As Chloe, Detective Ethan Callahan, and loyal Bernese Mountain Dog Apollo investigate, they uncover a chilling conspiracy involving stolen colonial artifacts, a powerful founding family, and a hidden cache of evidence meant to survive long after its author. When human remains are found near the lighthouse, it becomes clear: someone killed to protect the secret—and may do so again.

Shadows of the Past is a gripping coastal mystery about buried truths, historical courage, and the relentless power of light to pierce the darkness.
