The Tides of Truth Series
A Pilgrimage of Whispered Truths:
A Spicy Cozy Mystery set in 1997 Virginia Beach, VA
She set out to solve a mystery, not to fall in love.
In 1997 Virginia Beach, some truths refuse to stay buried…
Dani Jones is used to lesson plans and late-night grading, not murder. But when a student’s uncle confronts her after class and then disappears, her world tilts. Days later, during a Chesapeake Bay cleanup, she is there when his body is found, hidden in the marsh. As the last person to see him alive, Dani is suddenly at the center of a mystery that rattles the quiet coastal town.
Enter Gavin Larkhurst, a sharp-tongued radio newsman with a protective streak. His feelings for Dani make him desperate to keep her safe—even when she refuses to stop digging. But trust is fragile when danger lurks around every corner, and someone will do anything to keep the past buried.
Equal parts mystery and romance, A Pilgrimage of Whispered Truths is a spicy whodunit about uncovering secrets, risking your heart, and the lessons that change everything.
English teacher Dani Jones survived her last brush with murder. She wasn't planning on a second one.
It's fall 1997, and Dani has finally settled back into ordinary life — until an anonymous caller whispers a name into her boyfriend's microphone on live radio: Clara Hammond, a girl who vanished after prom in 1975.
Gavin Larkhurst does what any good radio host would do with a fifty-year-old cold case. He tells all of Virginia Beach that his girlfriend can solve it.
He has no idea who's listening.
Somewhere in the city, a man has kept his secret for fifty years — patient, careful, certain he'd never be found. But Dani is asking questions now, and Gavin's voice is carrying them straight to him.
Some secrets don't stay buried. And the most dangerous thing Gavin ever did was say her name on air.
