The Tabby House. A Claire Harmon Mystery, #3

Some places hold their secrets in the walls. When Claire Harmon arrives at the historic Tabby House-a gracious antebellum estate on a tidal creek outside Beaufort, South Carolina-she's there as a guest, not an investigator. Her partner is restoring the old tabby walls. The soft opening has drawn a small, careful gathering of guests. And from the first evening, something feels wrong. One guest watches the property with an attention that goes beyond admiration.
Another seems to have come not for a vacation but to settle something years in the making. When a young woman is found dead at the dock before dawn, Claire finds herself at the center of a case rooted in an eighteen-year-old death, a family's buried grief, and a secret someone has managed-brilliantly, warmly, and without apparent guilt-for nearly two decades. The killer isn't frightening. That's what makes her dangerous. The third Claire Harmon mystery is a sun-drenched, slow-burning story about what charm conceals, what grief keeps, and what happens when the person you least suspect has been paying the most careful attention all along.
Perfect for fans of Elin Hilderbrand and Liane Moriarty.
