Murder on Harbor Day: A Cozy Mystery

About Murder on Harbor Day: A Cozy Mystery

Harbor Day should be full of sunshine, music, and happy dogs… not murder. Sarah Morgan is looking forward to a cheerful afternoon at the waterfront. Second Chance Animal Rescue has a booth at the town’s beloved Harbor Day festival, complete with adoptable dogs, friendly volunteers, and Junebug happily greeting anyone who walks past.

But the celebration takes a dark turn when Oliver Dane, a local historian known for stirring up trouble with old town secrets, is found dead aboard a restored sailboat opened for festival tours. Oliver had been hinting all day that he’d discovered something important about the harbor’s past—something that could embarrass old families, upset business plans, and unravel a story the town had believed for generations. Suddenly everyone from preservation leaders to waterfront investors seems to have a reason to keep Oliver quiet.

As gossip ripples through the marina and suspicion falls on a quiet boatwright who looks far too easy to blame, Sarah starts asking careful questions. With Junebug’s nose leading her back to a forgotten rope coil and a missing leather satchel, she begins to realize that someone moved more than just a body after the murder. Now Sarah must untangle a mystery hidden beneath town pride, old records, and carefully polished reputations before the wrong person takes the fall.
