WHEN SEA SPRAY HIDES MORE THAN JUST WAVES!
A manor battered by the winds, an island surrounded by tides, still-warm waffles for breakfast… and a disappearance that chills the sea air.
Welcome to Bellefontaine, where secrets settle on the cliffs like salt on the skin.
If you love French cozy mysteries blending humor, sweetness, and gentle suspense, prepare your blanket and your cup of tea: you hold in your hands the ideal autumn novel, one that smells of vanilla, mist, and danger.
SYNOPSIS
After an eventful year in Little Hollow, Amélia Hartwell, a bookseller with a formidable nose for a story, receives a mysterious postcard scented with sea spray.
Her pastry chef friend, Rosie, invites her to spend a restful week on Bellefontaine Island, at the famous Manor of Mists, a guesthouse where writers come to seek inspiration… and sometimes find it in the wrong place.
No sooner has she arrived than Amélia discovers that the sea isn't the only one with secrets:
the owner, Lady Eleanor Trevelyan, a dreaded former literary critic, hides a troubled past.
The guests behave as if each is playing a role.
And when a famous novelist disappears, replaced by a notebook soaked in ink and salt, the vacation turns into an investigation.
Between savory scones, stolen pages, literary ghosts, and a missing diamond, Amélia will have to untangle the threads of a tragedy woven over years.
Every wave seems to whisper a clue, every storm awakens the faults of the past.
But on this island, lies are like the tides: they always end up surfacing.
