The Mysterious Guest

A man with no name. A murder with no answers. And a town where secrets are more dangerous than lies.

When a guest at the Maple Tree Inn is found stabbed to death, Cedar Harbor's idyllic charm shatters. Emma Chandler, a former detective turned café owner, swore she'd never investigate again. But with Detective Ethan Carter struggling for leads and the victim tied to the town's powerful Freemason lodge, Emma knows she can't stay on the sidelines.

As she digs deeper, long-buried secrets rise to the surface. Her mother, Margaret, is tied to a past Emma doesn't fully understand. A nosy reporter leaks explosive details. And a shadowy figure from her last case reappears with chilling warnings: stop digging, or risk everything.

Emma soon realizes that everyone has an agenda, and nothing in Cedar Harbor is what it seems. To uncover the truth, she must face not only the town's darkest secrets, but the ones buried in her own family.

In a town built on lies, the truth can kill.

The Mysterious Guest is a heart-pounding mystery packed with suspense, small-town drama, and secrets too big to stay hidden. Perfect for fans of bold twists and unforgettable heroines.
