Perfect for you if...

  • You enjoy contemporary mysteries with small-town charm and strong family dynamics at the centre rather than romance.
  • You've loved Fern Michaels' Sisterhood books and want to follow her into a new series with fresh characters and similar warm ensemble energy.
  • You like cosy crime plots mixed with genuine character growth and the kind of banter that comes from siblings learning to work as a team.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You're looking for fast-paced, high-stakes thrillers. This is character-first, with a mystery woven through rather than driving the plot.
  • You want a romance-heavy read. The romantic elements are secondary to Madison and Lincoln's personal journeys and sibling reconnection.
  • You prefer polished, glamorous settings. Smugglers Cove is deliberately shabby, quirky, and unglamorous, at least at first.

About this book

Book 1 in the Twin Lights series. Siblings Madison and Lincoln Taylor inherit a marina at Smugglers Cove on the Navesink River from their late uncle, an unexpected bequest that changes their lives. Growing up in privilege, both siblings experienced upheaval when their father was arrested for fraud and family assets were seized. Madison became editor in chief of La Femme magazine after studying fashion, while Lincoln teaches wealth management at a college outside the city. Both have distanced themselves from their family and past. Their inheritance proves far from glamorous—the property consists of a dilapidated dock, gas pumps, and a few clam boats. Madison's plan to sell the property derails when a dead body is discovered floating under their dock, turning the marina into a crime scene. Madison trades her city wardrobe for cargo pants and flannel shirts as she and Lincoln navigate small-town Jersey Shore life, encountering quirky local characters, pirate legends, and a mysterious treasure map. As they work to solve the mystery and make decisions about their inheritance, they learn more about themselves and each other.
