Mid-coast Maine is a picturesque gem, with grand homes quaintly dubbed cottages, boats adorning pristine harbors, and lighthouses steeped in tales of hauntings. The summer season bustles with tourists, yet seldom with murder. As Chris and Kali Winters journey from West Texas to what should be a serene family reunion in Maine, they uncover a tapestry of inexplicable mysteries and a family rife with discord, both with each other and the world at large. Alongside their two newly adopted daughters, they face trials both on land and sea, some wrought by nature's whims, others by forces far from natural. The corpse of a man, whose home was but a stone's throw from Chris's family estate, persistently appears and vanishes amidst a series of bizarre events. Along this intriguing path, you'll encounter Cherry Parfait, The Admiral, and Charlie Jo Travers, the leader of a paranormal team whose involvement runs deeper than her title suggests.
A summer family reunion set in coastal Maine sounds idyllic, unless one finds the neighbor's dead body at home in his bed, but then it disappears. Factor in a mother-in-law who makes no secret of her disdain for certain members of the family, a teenager intent on having her own way, and a paranormal cult moving into the dead neighbor's house, then all in all, there's a recipe for disaster that will keep the reader curious to the end.
