A Lighthouse Murder Mystery

About this book

The Point--Pocasset, Massachusetts 1716 Fifteen-year-old Abigail Hart hides in the cache of her father's cottage to avoid her much older cousin, Nehemiah Alden, and becomes a casualty of colonial times and a grasping desire for land. Greedy and merciless, Nehemiah considers both Abigail and the property as rightfully his, now that her father is believed lost at sea. Nehemiah exerts his will without thought of the consequences, dooms Abigail, and poisons the village for generations to come. Three hundred years later, Sophie Tyler believes overseeing The Point's lighthouse renovations is the perfect answer to her problems. But then the apparitions begin. Emotional footprints from the past connect Sophie to the lost Abigail, a young woman much like herself. With the unwilling assistance of Dan, the restoration contractor, and his hostile supervisor Neal, Sophie seeks to reveal the past. However, someone wants the truth to remain unknown and is willing to end their lives to keep the secret hidden.
