Murder at high tide — Maëlle Snowfield

At low tide, the sea returns the dead.

At high tide, it carries away the evidence.

Twenty years ago, a sailboat sank near the treacherous Three Sisters reef. One woman survived. One man disappeared. And the truth was buried beneath the waters surrounding Port-Églantine.

Now, during the coastal town’s annual sailing festival, celebrated mystery novelist Adèle Vannier vanishes from her boat.

Hours later, she is found dead inside the abandoned Aigrettes Lighthouse.

Beside her body lies a page torn from her unfinished manuscript—a page that appears to describe the murder before it happened.

Élise Aubry came to Port-Églantine hoping the sea air would revive her failing inspiration. An illustrator, not an investigator, she has always noticed the details other people overlook: a misplaced window, a missing scarf, the shape of a shadow behind a cabin window.

When Élise discovers that Adèle had specifically chosen her to map the lighthouse and reconstruct what could be seen from every window, she realizes the novelist may have left behind more than an unfinished book.

With the help of Gabriel, the secretive bookseller who knew Adèle better than he admits, Élise begins following a trail of missing pages, altered records, hidden passageways, and loyalties forged twenty years earlier.

But nearly everyone in Port-Églantine is protecting someone.

The harbor master is lying about his movements.

A wealthy shipyard owner has concealed the truth about the night her fiancé disappeared.

A former rescuer knows who entered the shipyard before the fatal voyage.

And Gabriel’s connection to the old shipwreck is far more personal than Élise ever imagined.

As the tide rises around Aigrettes Lighthouse, the past begins to surface.

To expose Adèle’s killer, Élise must uncover what truly happened aboard the Astrée twenty years ago—and determine which secret someone was willing to kill to keep beneath the waves.

Murder at High Tide is an atmospheric coastal cozy mystery filled with maritime secrets, hidden family histories, warm friendships, a charming seaside setting, and a determined dachshund named Gaston.

Perfect for readers who enjoy intelligent amateur sleuths, lighthouse mysteries, small-town secrets, dual-timeline investigations, and suspense without graphic violence.

A complete standalone mystery and the first book in The Mysteries of Port-Églantine series.
