At the Wren House Inn on Osprey Lane, Helen has spent twenty-three years perfecting the kind of hospitality guests never forget — thick slices of sourdough at breakfast, strong French press coffee, and a cocoa tray left in each room at turndown. So when Gerald Ashworth, a polished retired art appraiser staying in the inn’s most beloved harbor-view room, is found dead in bed, everyone assumes he passed quietly in his sleep. But Helen knows her inn the way other people know their own heartbeat, and one small detail on the bedside tray tells her something is terribly wrong.
Warm, atmospheric, and quietly suspenseful, this cozy mystery blends small-town charm, seaside ambiance, and a smart amateur sleuth who notices the details everyone else overlooks. Perfect for readers who love bed-and-breakfast mysteries, coastal settings, clever clues, and mysteries steeped in comfort, community, and just the right touch of danger.
