A Whale of a Crime
(2025)(The first book in the Yorkshire Coast Cozy Mystery series)
A novel by Katie Forrest and Mona Marple
Ryan Kennedy never planned to return to Flamborough, the sleepy seaside village he once called home. But when his sister ropes him into checking on their feisty gran, he reluctantly trades city chaos for salt air and... whatever counts as excitement in a place where the biggest scandal is usually a rogue seagull stealing someone’s chips.
What he doesn’t expect is to find Gran keeping secrets, the family bookshop teetering on the brink of disaster, and the whole village buzzing about a heated argument Gran had with a visitor—an argument that ends with the visitor washing up dead on the beach.
Now, Gran’s the prime suspect, the locals are in a gossip frenzy, and Ryan is suddenly in way over his head. Between wrangling his eccentric family and unraveling a web of village secrets, he’ll have to think fast (and avoid offending Iris, his no-nonsense gran) to clear her name.
Because in Flamborough, the cliffs aren’t the only thing hiding skeletons.
Perfect for fans of quirky characters, seaside settings, and mysteries that keep you guessing, A Whale of a Crime will have you hooked from page one.
