A Murder at Gull's Nest Manor: A Moonlight Bay Cozy Mystery

By C.L. Harrow

One celebration. One locked door. And a secret someone is desperate to keep buried.

Grace Hastings is only at the Moonlight Bay Community Hall to help with a town celebration-an evening meant for speeches, neighbors, and familiar faces. But when the power goes out and the doors refuse to open, the night takes a deadly turn.

A body is discovered hidden behind the stage, and with no way in or out, everyone inside becomes a suspect.

Suspicion quickly falls on Tom Ridley, a hardware store volunteer who had a recent dispute with the victim that few people knew about, and Diane Calder, the longtime event organizer whose past connection to the victim raises uncomfortable questions. Was it a tragic accident-or did someone use the chaos of the blackout to settle a score?

As fear spreads through the locked hall, Grace begins to notice troubling details others overlook-and realizes the truth may be closer than anyone wants to admit. With tensions rising and secrets unraveling, Grace must uncover what really happened before the night claims another victim-this time, her.

A cozy mystery featuring a locked-room puzzle, multiple suspects, a loyal canine sidekick, and an amateur sleuth racing to uncover the truth before it's too late.
