The Lighthouse Lie: A Sealight Cove Cozy Mystery by Miranda Rose Barker
New town. New name. New life.
After walking away from a broken marriage in Chicago, Nora Hale arrives in the foggy coastal town of Sealight Cove determined to start over with her handmade candle shop and no plans beyond surviving one day at a time. Then she adopts Rufus, a scruffy rescue dog with an unusual gift. He can talk to her.
When beloved local fisherman Walt Pierson is found dead beneath the cliffs near the old lighthouse, the town calls it a tragic accident. Rufus knows better. As Nora digs into long-buried secrets surrounding the lighthouse property, missing records, and powerful families protecting their past, she discovers that someone in Sealight Cove will do anything to keep the truth hidden.
With a talking dog at her side, a handsome harbor master watching her back, and danger closing in, Nora must uncover the truth before the next body washes ashore.
Perfect for fans of small-town cozy mysteries, coastal settings, clever amateur sleuths, slow-burn romance, and unforgettable animal sidekicks.

She lives in Southern California with a house full of books and far too many story ideas waiting to be written.
