Murder in the Past

By Holly Finch

A hidden skeleton, a forty-year-old secret, and a new murder that hits too close to home...

Spring in Sun Harbor is supposed to mean fresh starts-but when a construction crew uncovers a decades-old skeleton behind the walls of Town Hall, Alice Monroe's peaceful life is shattered once again. As rumors swirl and old wounds reopen, suspicion falls on the town's most powerful families-and the shadowy elite who ruled Sun Harbor in the 1980s.

With the state police circling, a notorious true-crime podcaster stirring up trouble, and her own friends drawn into the investigation, Alice can't help but get involved-much to the concern of Police Chief Noah Hawthorne. Then tragedy strikes again, and a determined killer silences anyone who comes too close to the truth, leaving Alice at the heart of her most dangerous mystery yet.

Relying on her fiercely loyal friends, a grumpy one-eyed cat with a nose for trouble, and a heroic rescue dog who never leaves her side, Alice must unravel a web of lies, lost friendships, and family secrets spanning four decades. Because in Sun Harbor, the past isn't just history-it's deadly.

Can Alice bring long-overdue justice to the victims before the murderer strikes again? Or will the secrets buried in Sun Harbor finally claim her, too?
