Murder Most Wild

Nellie H. Steele

A hidden journal. A haunted bracelet. A cat with a nose for danger. And a lighthouse murder that won't stay quiet...

Back on Maine's rugged coast, artist Emily Harper is settling into her creaky home and its secret-stuffed attic when she uncovers a trove of nautical curios-an old compass, a spyglass, a locket-etched map, even a sextant-that hint at a legend entwined with her family's past. The bracelet on her wrist doesn't help her sleep-it pulls her into dizzying flashes of elsewhere, the kind that feel too true to ignore.

When a body turns up at Owl's Head Lighthouse, Emily's visions sharpen, pointing to a ciphered journal and a treasure someone would kill to keep buried. With Bill and Martha at her side and Grayson-their fearless feline scout-always one paw ahead, she follows clues from Machiasport's shores to storm-carved cliffs, decoding a Vigenère that may unlock the truth...or paint a target on her back.

As secrets shift beneath the tides and a killer circles closer, Emily must trust her unsettling gift and the cat who keeps finding the way out-before the next vision is her last.

Fans of Ellery Adams and Carolyn Hart will love this twisty, atmospheric paranormal cozy mystery brimming with coastal charm, coded clues, and a heroine who refuses to back down-no matter how haunted the path becomes.
