Murder in the Tides

Every tide leaves something behind. This time, it's murder

At the height of a blistering summer, Annabel Lennox Deighton and her friend Evie set out for a carefree boat tour off the coast of Little Firling. But what they find isn't sunshine-it's a body. A young woman, nameless and unclaimed, floats just beneath the surface, wearing only secrets.

As Annabel begins to investigate, the mystery deepens. The woman didn't drown by accident. No ID. No missing person reports. And the water in her lungs? It didn't come from the sea.

The trail leads to a long-shuttered wellness retreat, a string of vanished women, and a powerful figure with a shadowy past. As Annabel pulls at threads no one wants unraveled, she uncovers a chilling truth: the woman wasn't lost. She was silenced. And someone rich, ruthless, and dangerously well-connected wants to keep it that way.

But Annabel is no stranger to ghosts. And this time, she's not just solving a mystery-she's making sure the victim is remembered.

Even if it means becoming a target herself.

Murder in the Tides is the eighth in the beloved Little Firling Mystery series: a gripping blend of small-town charm, coastal suspense, and secrets that won't stay buried.
