A Tide House Mystery - Book One.
Some houses don't keep secrets. They keep people.
When restoration expert Della Hartley inherits Winterkeep, a storm-battered house perched on the tidal flats of the Cornish coast, she expects rotting timber and bad plumbing - not a locked room that hasn't been opened in forty years, and a tide that seems to rise a little higher each night.
The locals won't speak its name after dark. The previous owner vanished without a trace. And as Della peels back layers of paint and plaster, she uncovers something the house was built to hide: a death that was never solved, a family that was never the same, and a truth that someone is still willing to kill to protect.
With the causeway flooding and the past closing in, Della must solve a decades-old mystery before the tide takes Winterkeep - and everyone in it.
An atmospheric, twisty coastal mystery perfect for fans of Ruth Ware, Kate Morton, and Lucy Foley. Book One of the Tide House Mysteries.
