Perfect for you if...

  • You love cozy mysteries with real emotional depth, where the puzzle matters as much as the character growth.
  • You're drawn to stories about found family and healing, especially when a grumpy Maine Coon cat is involved.
  • You want mystery that unfolds slowly alongside the restoration of an old seaside mansion and the rhythms of small-town life.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You need fast-paced plots with high stakes and shocking twists rather than gentle unraveling of connected threads.
  • You prefer mysteries that sit separate from character arcs instead of being woven through them.
  • You're looking for humour-driven cozy mysteries rather than ones anchored in genuine heartache and recovery.

About this book

The Inn at Holiday Bay: Letters in the Library is the second book in a cozy mystery series about loss, second chances, and new beginnings. After a personal tragedy, Abby Sullivan purchases a large seaside mansion in Holiday Bay, Maine, sight unseen, and relocates from San Francisco. She is joined by a Maine Coon Cat named Rufus, a drifter named Georgia with her own difficult past, and a large dog named Ramos. What Abby expected to be a period of solitude becomes something unexpected: an inn she never planned to own, a cat she cannot remove, and a new family she cannot imagine living without. In this installment, Abby discovers a bundle of letters written in 1954 hidden in the library wall during renovations. Intrigued by the secrets within, Abby and Georgia investigate to uncover the full story. Simultaneously, Chief Colt Wilder finds a new lead in the death of a local girl from the previous summer. Despite her intention to focus on writing, Abby becomes involved in uncovering truths that may contradict the original account of events. Abby, Georgia, Rufus, and Ramos continue renovating the mansion, prepare for the summer season, and build new lives in Holiday Bay.
