About this book
A healer drowned in 1692. A grandmother who didn't die of old age. And a journal that seems to know it is being read.
It's January in Moonhaven, Maine. Snow taps at the attic window, and retired homicide detective Sam Blackwood is learning what it means to be the town's new Guardian. Then she opens a leather journal with a silver clasp in her grandmother's attic.
It belonged to Margery Thorne, a healer accused of witchcraft and drowned in the harbor three hundred years ago. History erased her. Her own pages read like something Sam knows well: a case file. And the ink on the last page is still wet.
Sam has questions closer to home, too. Eleanor's last blood draw doesn't look like old age. A tin of chamomile in the pantry has a seal that was cut and glued back down. A small silver brooch in Ashton Antiques makes a ghost go very quiet. And a polite consultant who came asking about the lighthouse seems to know the Portland streets Sam left behind.
She has help. Ezra Moonhaven, who built the Moonhaven Light in 1873 and has been a ghost since 1923. Moss, the silver-muzzled Border Collie who knows a friend from a stranger. Lucy, who runs the Salt & Sage and turns up with chowder when Sam forgets to eat. And Dr. Rowan Ashby, the new town physician, who looked after Eleanor in her last weeks and wants to know what he missed.
Somewhere beneath the winter water, an old seal is weakening, and the new moon is coming. Before it's over, Sam will walk into the thirty-eight-degree Atlantic at dawn, because some promises can only be kept by the living. And a prosecutor's list of nine more towns on the Maine coast will put a name on her desk she has heard before.
Murder at Moonhaven Light is Book 2 of The Moonhaven Mysteries. Each book is a complete, satisfying mystery, and the series is best enjoyed in order.
Follow Sam into the winter water and find out what the sea has been holding.
