Some summers change everything.
Fresh off an unexpected corporate layoff, Charlotte headed to the iconic Hotel del Coronado looking for a quiet retreat, a blank slate, and a chance to figure out her next move.
Instead, it was the crisp ivory linen envelope waiting inside her cottage that stopped her in her tracks.
A trail of cryptic clues led her straight to Crossroads Bookstore on Orange Avenue, where she unexpectedly crossed paths with a man whose easy charm—and unsettling familiarity with her cottage—suggested he knew far more than any stranger should.
I can't shake the feeling that I've stepped into the middle of a long-buried secret.
I can't solve this mystery alone...
...and I need you to look at these clues with me before the next envelope arrives.
