It’s the special day Emma and Joe have been waiting for. It’s a day that Darcy’s been stressing out over for months. She’s no wedding planner but that hasn’t stopped her from doing all she can to make this day perfect.
Despite their mother’s frustration that the new caterer has decided to open shop a few blocks away from their mother’s café.
Despite the fact that their parents are divorced and their father has moved on and now has a baby with a much younger women.
Despite the fact that someone tried to strangle Darcy at the reception and even more importantly that the new caterer—who’s not exactly ugly—had saved her from the assault.
Why can’t there be a simple wedding without chaos and mayhem in Cape Hope?
Message on the Tide
Who’d think an innocent early morning walk on the beach would yield a sealed bottle with a mysterious set of letters from decades ago?
Certainly not Darcy Harmon, but that’s exactly what she’s come across.
And leave it to her sister Emma, the family’s resident amateur sleuth to try to take the mystery away from Darcy.
Well, Darcy’s having none of it. It’s her mystery to solve and she’s not sharing it. At least, not until someone tries to take her life. Twice.
Now, she’s suddenly open to having some help to find answers to the questions spawned by the mysterious messages in the letters that washed in on the tide.
View to a Crime
Darcy’s got an interview with a local paper. Cool, right? Well, maybe not. Why’s she got reservations about doing the interview when anyone she tells about it encourages her to jump at the chance. So, Darcy jumped. Only she finds her remote interview over Zoom comes to an untimely end when her interviewer is attacked.
Luckily, Darcy manages to extricate herself from the situation unscathed because the attacker doesn’t know who the witness to the crime was.
Until he does.
Now Darcy’s in a race to find out who the perpetrator is before he can find her.
