Overview
Secrets by the Sea is book 1 in the Beach Rose Cottage Mysteries series.
Liza Bowen has barely settled into her new home at Beach Rose Cottage when she finds herself caught up in a mystery. While she and her best friend, Kristin Price, are taking an early morning walk along the sandy beach, grateful for the peaceful beauty all around them, they discover an old green glass bottle. Inside are a dried rose, a wedding band, and a vintage photograph of a lovely bride. Most curious of all, in the background of the photo is Beach Rose Cottage itself. As Liza and Kristin try to sort out the identity of the bride and how the bottle washed up here, they find more questions than answers. Especially when other mysterious artifacts keep appearing around town, seemingly out of nowhere. Can Liza determine who is trying to bring old Cape May tragedies back to the surface…and why?
