Auld Lang Stein

Small town secrets resurface in Katie Murphy's latest cozy mystery. It's New Year's Eve in the charming town of Seaside Cove, where the salty breeze from the Gulf of Mexico mingles with the sounds of Auld Lang Syne at Paddy's Pub. But for the Secret Sisters, a group formed over four decades ago during their high school days, this song evokes bittersweet memories as they come together to fulfill the dying wish of one of their own.

Linda's son is determined to honor his mother's last requests, spreading her ashes in beloved locations and handing each of the four Secret Sisters a personal letter. However, things take a dark turn when they discover one of them drowned near an abandoned fishing pier upriver, which is a heart-breaking parallel to the unsolved murder of Tilly, the Secret Sister who drowned just two years after her high school graduation.

Katie Murphy joins the three remaining friends on a journey to uncover the truth about the horrific crime and the cold case that has been left unsolved for decades. As they dig deeper, they discover unsettling secrets and betrayals that have remained hidden all this time. Will their investigation bring closure or will it only unearth ghosts from the past? Find out in this suspenseful installment of Katie Murphy's cozy mystery series, set against the picturesque backdrop of coastal Florida.
