The Harbor Ledger
A photograph should not outlive the record that confirms it.
When a marina image contradicts Harbor Cove’s official ledger, bookstore owner Maggie Sullivan notices something no one else does — the dates don’t align.
A dock assignment was altered.
A maintenance log quietly revised.
And a death that seemed settled may have been recorded incorrectly.
What begins as a clerical discrepancy leads Maggie into Harbor Cove’s archived records, where small adjustments carry lasting consequences.
In a town built on documentation and reputation, the truth isn’t buried — it’s misfiled.
The Harbor Ledger is the second book in the Harbor Cove Bookstore Mysteries, a clean, character-driven cozy mystery featuring a thoughtful amateur sleuth, archival clues, and a small coastal town where order is restored one record at a time.

A new author to me. I found this story at times confusing, days bleed into days and I lost track on numerous occasions as to where Maggie was. This story was easy to put down and walk away from, it didn't hold my attention.
The mystery was only an incorrect record of death that was an accident and nothing but an accident with an incorrect timeline.
I received a free advance review copy and I am voluntarily leaving my honest review.
