Final Chapter

Lilly Lamar didn't disappear; Cedar Harbor buried the truth with her.

Two years after the bestselling author vanished from town, her rental car is pulled from Culver Lake with Lilly still inside. What everyone dismissed as another dramatic exit is now unmistakably murder.

Café owner Emma Chandler knows Cedar Harbor is quick to tidy uncomfortable truths, especially when the victim was a woman people loved to judge. But Lilly left behind more than gossip. A message slip, hidden photographs, and unfinished manuscript pages point toward a polished circle of secrets.

Now Emma and Detective Ethan Carter must uncover who needed Lilly's final chapter silenced.
