Perfect for you if...

You enjoy mysteries with genuine laughs and chemistry that builds naturally between the leads rather than feeling forced.
You like stories set in tight-knit communities where everyone has secrets and the murder is just the beginning of what you'll uncover.
You want a book that balances real stakes (her career depends on this) with genuine warmth and humour throughout.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer your mysteries dark and your romance secondary; this one leans equally into both and doesn't get gritty.
You want a fast-paced whodunnit where the murder dominates; the relationship here is genuinely central to the plot.
You struggle with second-chance romance tropes or stories where exes are forced to work together.

About this book

Harriet Baker returns to Logan Island, the New Jersey beach town she left behind, after losing her job at a magazine. Living with her eccentric mother and desperate to escape, she sees an unexpected opportunity when a murder occurs at her birthday party. Sara Allbright, sister of Nic—a man Harriet briefly dated years ago—becomes the prime suspect. When Harriet is offered her old job back in exchange for writing an article about the murder, she agrees. To investigate, she needs Nic's cooperation, and he needs her help to clear his sister's name. Despite their mutual reluctance to work together, the two team up to find the real killer. As they investigate, Harriet and Nic uncover secrets about their hometown, confront buried feelings, and discover they may be better suited to each other than either expected.
