A prominent local woman drives to beautiful Mourning Bay on the Oregon coast, leaves her glasses and a mysterious note on a piece of driftwood, and then walks into the bay, committing suicide - or does she? Police chief Matt Horning makes a promise to the woman's grieving husband to investigate her disappearance, but with no body, no crime scene, and no witnesses, he doesn't have much to go on. Matt's colleagues join in to solve this twisty case, but will an aggressive new detective in the Port Stirling police department upset the camaraderie of the local cops? Is it suicide or is it murder? And if it's murder, is it just the beginning of a new evil in their community? From its puzzling, mysterious opening to its shocking conclusion, Mourning Bay, book six in A Port Stirling Mystery series, will remind you to not accept life at face value. Fans of Melinda Leigh, Harlan Coben, Elly Griffiths, and Kendra Elliot will devour this thrilling, suspenseful story.
