The Lighthouse Lie: A Small Town Cozy Mystery with Secrets, Lies, and a Talking Dog (The Sealight Cove Cozy Mysteries)

She didn’t come to Sealight Cove looking for trouble.

Nora Hale came for a fresh start. She shed her married name. Found a quiet small town on the Maine coast, a chance to rebuild her life after walking away from everything she thought it was supposed to be.

Instead, she found a cozy candle shop, a close-knit community full of watchful eyes… and a dog who isn’t quite like any she’s ever known.

Rufus has a way of noticing things. Things people miss. Things people hide.

And when a longtime local is found dead at the base of the old lighthouse, what everyone else calls a tragic accident doesn’t sit right with Nora… or with Rufus.

The deeper Nora digs, the more she uncovers a story the town would rather keep buried. Missing records. Old grudges. A decades-old land dispute that never really ended.

Someone wanted the truth to stay hidden.

And they may not be done yet.

In a place where everyone knows everyone, Nora is about to learn that trust is fragile, secrets run deep… and some lies refuse to stay buried.

The Lighthouse Lie is a warm, character-driven cozy mystery set in a charming seaside town, perfect for readers who love small town mysteries, amateur sleuths, coastal settings, and stories with a hint of the unexpected.
