A winter storm uncovers a body Fogpoint tried to forget.
Kat Thompson thought she had enough to manage with a spring wedding on the horizon, a complicated new role in her mother Jillian’s care, and Dante’s newly arrived biological father stirring up painful memories. But when storm damage exposes human remains near the historical society's storage building, Detective Frank Kinley calls Kat back into official consultant work.
The victim is Ellis Wardell, a young seasonal worker who vanished more than thirty years ago while cataloging salvaged objects for Fogpoint’s harbor collection. Back then, everyone assumed Ellis had simply left town. Now, the evidence says otherwise.
As Kat and Kinley sort through old exhibit photographs, missing tags, private collections, and the polished lies of Fogpoint’s oldest families, they uncover a quiet act of erasure tied to Mae Larkin, a forgotten woman whose name was stripped from history to protect a powerful reputation.
With Dante drawing hard boundaries around Owen, Jillian showing fragile signs of recovery, and the past pressing against the present, Kat must help Kinley prove what Ellis knew before another truth is buried under Fogpoint’s careful stories.
In Fogpoint Harbor, some secrets aren’t hidden in the shadows. They’re displayed in plain sight.
When I started this series, I knew the writing was perfect, but I was enjoying the stories enough to over look the bad editing or whatever. I had hopes that the writing would improve as the author honed her craft. Unfortunately, at some point, it felt like the writing stopped being about the characters or the mystery and was more about what the room or weather was doing. I've been seeing this a lot and I have to wonder if it is because the Authors are using AI to assist them? I still enjoyed the story's intent. was disappointed that there wasn't a clear conclusion the the mystery and very little of Kat's abilities displayed.
Good story concept but author just dragged the storyline on forever. Got bored and started skipping pages which was enough get the salient parts. Could have been a hundred pages shorter and still covered the whole story quite well. Too bad because it was a good idea for a book.
