Murder at Foggy Harbor: A Trask Family Mystery - 1

By Gregory Bratton

Back Cover Blurb
When a hurricane wrecks their ill-fated "divorce cruise," Claire Trask and her ex-husband Eli wash ashore on a remote island. Their only refuge is the cliffside estate of Octavia Harrow, a stately innkeeper who insists on hosting her stranded guests through the storm.

But the shelter quickly turns sinister. Power falters, shadows stretch across the grand halls, and panic ripples through the guests when a scream announces the first grim discovery. Everyone is trapped. No one can leave. And somewhere in the mansion, a murderer is waiting.

Claire-brilliant, impulsive, and eager to prove she no longer needs Eli-finds herself reluctantly partnered once again with her older, dry-witted ex. Along with Murphy, the loyal (and suspiciously perceptive) family dog, they must navigate clashing alibis, storm-soaked secrets, and rising tensions all while the hurricane's second half slams the island.

Equal parts witty banter, locked-room suspense, and coastal atmosphere, Murder at Foggy Harbor delivers a modern twist on the classic cozy mystery. Clean, clever, and full of charm, it's perfect for fans of Murder, She Wrote, Knives Out, and anyone who enjoys a whodunit with bite.

Can Claire and Eli outsmart a storm and a murderer-or will Foggy Harbor claim them all?
