Love is in the Salt Sea Air--and So is Murder! Ellery Page, aspiring screenwriter, reigning Scrabble champion, and occasionally clueless owner of the village's only mystery bookstore, the Crow's Nest, is both flattered and bemused when he's invited to the annual Marauder's Masquerade, the biggest social event of the season in the quaint seaside village of Pirate's Cove, Rhode Island. The event is hosted by the wealthy Marguerite Bloodworth-Ainsley--a descendant of the famed pirate Tom Blood. Ellery doesn't even know Mrs. Bloodworth-Ainsley--nor, it turns out--does Mrs. Bloodworth-Ainsley know him. But Marguerite's son, Julian wants to know Ellery. Julian, handsome, rich and engaging, is a huge mystery buff. In fact, he's bought a few books at the Crow's Nest bookstore, but never quite worked up the nerve to ask Ellery out. As his relationship with Police Chief Carlisle seems to be dead in the water, Ellery is grateful for a little flattering male attention from the village's most eligible bachelor, but any hopes of romance hit the shoals when Julian is accused of murdering his mother's unlikable second husband during the annual ghost hunt in the old cemetery.

After all, Amelia will do whatever it takes to help a reader in need. But now, handsome marquis Simon Bainbridge desperately requires her assistance.

Ever since Faye moved to Paradise Cove to take over her aunt's metaphysical bookstore, her normal life as a PhD student has become anything but. Barely escaping a close brush with death and with their magical cat familiar happily recuperating in a nearby feline-spa of a hospital, Faye and Luke, her partner-in-crime-solving, are all set for some much deserved downtime. That is, until an invitation to a grand masquerade lands on their doorstep. Amidst the glitz and glamour, Faye discovers an uninvited guest under the catering table, and a priceless relic goes missing, causing paranoia and pandemonium. The mogul of Paradise Cove enlists Faye and Luke's help to investigate, much to the dismay of the police chief. Meanwhile, rumors ripple through the town, linking the mysterious disappearance of the relic to ancient native lore and whispers of a monstrous creature believed to be more than just legend. The plot thickens further as a palm reader emerges from the shadows and an eccentric man claiming to be the Count St. Germain adds another layer to the mystery. With the weight of ancestral myths looming, they've got their work cut out for them. Will Faye and Luke unmask the marauder and decipher the riddles of the past to save Paradise Cove's future?
