Book 3 in the Seacliff Harbour Cozy Mystery Series. One loudmouth, one lost boy, and a seaside sandwich thief... murder was never on the menu. Emma Cartwright is settling into her seaside life. Dog walks. Warm traditions, and small-town charm. When a young boy disappears, tensions boil over. Threatening the beloved Lighthouse Day festival preparations. The festival goes ahead, but celebration turns to shock the next morning. News of a fatal hit and run emerge. Following this, the town’s postcard-perfect calm is soon replaced by suspicion. Whispers of grudges, broken dreams, and village feuds swirl through the cobbled streets. Everyone seems to know something. No one wants to say it straight. With help from her golden retriever Buddy sniffing out more than crumbs. And her circle of oddball friends, never short on opinions. Emma must decide who to trust and how far she’s willing to go to protect the people she’s come to love. As pressure mounts and loyalties fray, Emma begins to suspect the key suspect is innocent. But if her instincts are wrong, protecting them might cost more than her reputation.
