Tides That Lie

How well do you know the person you married?

You share a bed. A home. A life. But do you know what they're truly capable of?

I never thought I'd be a widow at twenty-six. They haven't even dredged him out of the ocean yet, but the neighbors still drop by with casseroles and sympathy cards. They want me to plan a funeral when I don't even have a body. So I play the part and smile politely, pretending I'm grateful for their pity.

But I knew my husband. He'd been a fisherman his entire life and knew the sea too well to take chances during a storm. My mother-in-law tells me to move on, but I just can't do that. And when I discover a key to a storage unit I never knew existed, I uncover records linking him to five women who vanished over the last decade.

Now I'm investigating on my own, digging into this town, into everything he left behind. The closer I get to the truth, the more dangerous it becomes. I know someone is watching me, and everyone in Blackwater Bay is hiding something. They think I'll let it go-I won't.

Everyone says the tide took my husband.

Maybe the tide will come for me next.
