Waverly Beach Mystery

Thirty-six-year-old high-school teacher Lauren seems to have it all. She moved back to Waverly, a small seaside town just north of Boston, several years ago. She has a great career and has finally found true love. Lauren's wedding is just a few weeks away when one of her students goes missing, and when his body is found a few days later, she suddenly becomes a person of interest. Her fiancé David is a former minor-league pitcher turned stockbroker who is excited to settle down with Lauren. But when the missing student is found dead and the media turns its attention even more closely on Lauren, David is surprised to discover that Lauren hadn't told him everything about her past. With the help of his ninety-one-year-old grandfather, who is a retired town sheriff, and his best friend Jake, the current assistant sheriff, David sets out to find the truth.

Jane Cho is a former legal investigator who was really good at her job, but she quit when someone she was investigating tried to have her killed. She returned to the seaside town of Waverly, Massachusetts, to run a takeout-food shop, Comfort & Joy, and to live a quiet, safer life. She thought everything was behind her as that person was convicted and is behind bars. But one peaceful morning, Jane stumbles over a dead body while taking out the trash. The dead woman ran a nearby bed and breakfast and had been threatened by Jane's thriving new business and had even filed suit the previous week to try and shut her down. The body includes a cryptic unsigned note. Is someone trying to help make Jane's problems disappear? Or is she the target?
