Gift shop owner Ray Watson is getting too old to face another busy tourist season up in the resort town of Dusky Cove, take care of his ailing wife, and try to respond to his grandson in jail. The one thing he needs is a break—and he finds the lift he needs in the form of a home health nurse. Just when things are looking up for him, Ray once again has to help solve a crime when a souvenir he sold was used as a murder weapon. Ray can’t imagine that the buyer killed anyone, especially not her own father-in-law. But is their new helper a murderer? With two people Ray cares about as the only suspects, can he clear their names? Or did one of them really commit murder? The Gift of Rift: When a rival gift shop owner is killed, Ray must once again clear his name. Ray Watson doesn’t like Clark Dutch. The sleepy resort town of Dusky Cove is a small market for two gift shop owners, so Clark has been Ray’s business rival for many years. Clark has only escalated their rift. But that doesn’t mean Ray wanted Clark dead. When Clark’s body is found, Ray is the prime suspect. The police’s second choice? Judy, Clark’s employee — and Ray’s friend.

But on the last day of Dusky Cove’s tourist season, Melissa is murdered. As they try to figure out who could have done this to their friend, Ray and Katie discover more and more secrets in Melissa’s life. Worst of all, it looks like their friend and confidant was leading a double life. As one final tribute to Melissa, he has to clear her name. But could the accusations be true? Is that why she was murdered? The Gift of Drift: Ray’s grandson is out on parole. But could he kill again? After a year of building a relationship, gift shop owner Ray Watson is getting to know his newly paroled grandson, Shawn. Things seem to be going well—Ray even considers retiring—until another body turns up. This time, it’s Shawn’s ex-wife. Shawn has killed once. Could Ray’s grandson have committed another murder?

Lori knows this is big, so she wants everything at her B&B—and the rest of the town—to be perfect for Annie. Although she knows her son is dating a local girl, Lori can’t plan for what happens when they run into someone from Annie’s past—or when he alludes to a dark secret. But her plans don’t really go awry until Annie’s old friend winds up the victim of a hit-and-run. Everyone thinks Annie looks guilty, leaving her in dire straits.

Fishing lines drag up a dead body: Mitch’s wife who’s been missing, presumed dead, for ten years. There’s no way she’s been in the waterway for a decade—or even a day. Ten years after the first time, Mitch is once again the prime suspect in his wife’s murder, and the mounting evidence against him clearly has him in danger of losing any defense. Lori will have to put aside her feelings if she wants to find out the truth and save Mitch from a life in prison. Or maybe to send him exactly where he deserves.
