Keeled Over at the Cliffside
(2024)(The first book in the Saltcliff Mystery series)
A novel by Nancy Stewart
Gilmore Girls meets Murder, She Wrote in this fast-paced culinary cozy (with a dog you'll want to adopt yourself!)
Saltcliff by the Sea: The charming seaside village where nothing is quite what it seems.
When Dahlia Vale swaps algorithms for aprons to take over her late sister's inn, Dahlia expects life to follow a logical sequence: serve breakfast, make beds, repeat. But between misreading social cues, taking local legends at face value, and suddenly finding herself guardian to a tweenage niece (do parenting manuals come with flowcharts?), she's in over her head.
And that's before the peculiar deaths start piling up like dirty laundry on inn changeover day.
With her sister's knack for people now nothing but a bittersweet memory, Dahlia must rely on her own gift for seeing what others overlook—and her niece Diantha's eye-rolling expertise in all things "normal."
Can she connect the dots before the killer strikes again, or will her by-the-book approach to sleuthing and step-parenting leave her story with an unhappy ending?
In this charming seaside mystery, Dahlia will learn that some rules are meant to be broken, some family recipes hide deadly secrets, and raising a teenager might be the most perplexing puzzle of all.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
