Washed Up With The Tide, and City of Silk are two new, and very different, books out this week, from authors I have links with.

I reviewed City of Silk at the weekend, so I’ll send you back to Saturday’s post for that.

Out on Monday (18th), Washed Up with The Tide is the second in Rebecca M. Douglass’s Seffi Wardwell mysteries. Like the first, A Coastal Corpse, I feel ambivalent about reviewing it, since I’ve read it at least three times, and even had some of my comments acted upon! But I think both are excellent cosy mysteries, and hope they do well for Rebecca.

Washed Up With the Tide

by Rebecca M. Douglass

Baked goods, beautiful weather, and … bodies on the beach? There’s trouble in Smelt Point and it’s up to Seffi to solve the case!

Seffi’s pleasure in her long walks among the fall colors is more than a little marred when she encounters cantankerous fisherman Bob Hughes washed up on the shore—sodden, entangled in a net, and very definitely dead. Did the man drink too much and fall overboard in an unfortunate accident? Or was his death something more sinister? With an estranged wife, enemies in the fishing fleet, and ticked-off deckhands, there are plenty of people around Smelt Point who aren’t sorry he’s dead. But did any of them actually kill him? The scuttlebutt at the bakery raises more questions than it answers, and to top it off the fishermen gathering there have eaten Seffi’s favorite treats.

Once again Seffi needs all her reasoning and gossip-gathering talents to help village policeman Miah Cox get to the bottom of the mystery. But will Miah’s own secret tear the village apart? 

More importantly, will Seffi ever get to finish her walk and enjoy her pastries in peace?
