Carols and Clues

A Seashell Key Christmas Novel

On a cozy Florida island where porches are sacred and gossip travels faster than seagulls, a mysterious group of Christmas carolers is turning hearts—and heads.

As Holly and Tessa organize Seashell Key’s beloved Carols on the Coast, things take a turn for the curious when a second verse in an old song stirs memories, secrets... and unexpected acts of kindness. Soon, cocoa carts, coded lyrics, and clues tucked behind poinsettia planters lead the town’s amateur sleuths into the most heartwarming holiday mystery the island has ever seen.

With each chorus, the mystery deepens—linking past to present and strangers to neighbors. Who are the secret singers? What really happened to Lina Trevors all those years ago? And can a front porch performance ever match the warmth of being invited to someone’s back porch?

Carols and Clues is a festive, feel-good coastal mystery full of porch light, peppermint, and the power of community. This standalone novel is part of the Seashell Key Mysteries series.
