Echoes in the Attic: A Cliffside Haven Cozy Mystery - Book 4
Some houses aren’t haunted. They’re hiding something.
When Lee Winters begins investigating a decades-old disappearance tied to a long-abandoned house, Cliffside Haven falls eerily quiet. Repairs are rushed. Records vanish. Doors that were once open are suddenly sealed.
The town insists it’s coincidence.
Lee knows it isn’t.
As she uncovers hidden crawlspaces, altered blueprints, and a ledger that was never meant to be found, Lee realizes the truth is far worse than rumor: buildings in Cliffside Haven were used as tools — places to contain people, evidence, and witnesses until the town could forget them.
This time, there is no ambiguity. No folklore to hide behind. A child didn’t run away.
A child was sealed in.
With danger closing in and those responsible still active, Lee must decide how much of the truth can be exposed — and how much must be protected — before it’s erased again.
Because once a secret is built into the walls, tearing it out may bring the whole town down.

Cliffside Haven Books - Start from the beginning
Whispers of the Past, A Cliffside Haven Mystery — Book 1
In Cliffside Haven, nothing disappears by accident.
Lee Winters comes to the quiet coastal town to keep her head down and her past behind her. She doesn't plan to stay. She definitely doesn't plan to investigate a murder.
But when a homeless man is found stabbed behind a local cafe, the town's easy explanations don't hold -- and neither does the silence that follows.
When Lee starts asking questions, she uncovers a pattern the town would rather forget: altered records, erased histories, and powerful families who know how to make problems disappear without leaving a mark. The deeper she digs, the clearer it becomes -- this wasn't a crime of passion.
It was a correction.
With only her instaincts, a wary detective, and her fiercely loyal dog, Bear, at her side, Lee is drawn into a web of secrets older than the town's friendly facade. And once she sees how neatly the truth has been buried, walking away is no longer an option.
Because in Cliffside Haven, the real danger isn't what's hidden in the dark.
It's what everyone has agreed not to see.
Whispers of the Past is the first book in the Cliffside Haven Mystery Series -- a slow-burn, atmospheric investigation where each book digs deeper into a connected system of corruption, disappearance, and buried truths. Best read in order.
Shadows Beneath the Bay, A Cliffside Haven Mystery — Book 2
Some secrets don’t stay buried.
They spread.
When a whistleblower vanishes near Cliffside Haven’s docks, the town is quick to offer an explanation. An accident. A tragic mistake. Something better left alone.
Lee Winters knows that language now.
She’s heard it before — every time the truth gets too close to people with power.
As Lee investigates the disappearance, what she uncovers isn’t a single crime, but a living system: illegal dumping hidden beneath the bay, poisoned water quietly ignored, and people who don’t just disappear — they’re erased. Records rewritten. Warnings issued. Silence enforced.
The deeper Lee goes, the clearer it becomes that Cliffside Haven’s corruption isn’t confined to one family or one business. It’s structural. Institutional. And still active.
With Detective Wesley Kosek pushed to the edge of his badge, Marcus Spaulding struggling under the weight of a legacy he never asked for, and unseen forces closing ranks, Lee must decide how far she’s willing to go — and what it will cost to keep digging.
Because this time, the truth won’t just expose the past.
It could poison the present.
Shadows Beneath the Bay is Book 2 in the Cliffside Haven Mystery series — a slow-burn, atmospheric investigation where each installment escalates danger, deepens an interconnected system of corruption, and proves that some towns don’t protect their secrets.
They weaponize them.
Whispers in the Walls, A Cliffside Haven Mystery — Book 3
In Cliffside Haven, the past doesn’t stay silent.
It listens.
Strange symbols appear overnight. Objects shift when no one is watching. A teenage girl who vanished decades ago begins to surface in places she shouldn’t — her name whispered like a warning instead of a memory.
The town calls it folklore.
Lee Winters knows better.
As she investigates the long-buried disappearance, Lee uncovers a system designed not just to hide crimes, but to monitor those who might remember them. Records are altered. Witnesses are managed. Fear is cultivated carefully, passed down until it feels like superstition.
What began as a single murder investigation has become something far more dangerous: proof that Cliffside Haven has been controlling its own narrative for generations.
With surveillance tightening, allies compromised, and the town’s institutions quietly closing ranks, Lee must confront a chilling truth —
the danger isn’t in the walls themselves.
It’s in who’s listening from the other side.
Whispers in the Walls is Book 3 in the Cliffside Haven Mystery series — a slow-burn, atmospheric investigation where human-made horror wears the mask of folklore, and every truth uncovered makes it harder to stay unseen.
