Overview

Some secrets are stitched into the very fabric of the island... and Amber Jane is about to unravel them. Amber Jane arrives on the idyllic island of Murphy's Corner determined to leave her painful past behind. After years of surviving a controlling, abusive marriage, she's ready for a fresh start, and she's dreamed of opening her own craft store for as long as she can remember. With the support of her warm-hearted Aunt Eve, Amber claims a charming storefront in the heart of the island's business district and names it Bits & Pieces-because it's not just a shop, it's a reflection of herself: a little of this, a little of that, and the slow process of putting the pieces back together. Murphy's Corner is more than just quaint shops and friendly neighbors. Beneath its postcard-perfect charm lies a current of old secrets, whispered warnings, and stories the locals avoid. When Amber purchases an old trunk at an estate sale, she never expects to find a hidden compartment containing a decades-old journal and a key with no lock. The words in the journal reveal the haunting voice of a woman trapped in an abusive marriage to a man with dangerous connections-a life uncomfortably similar to Amber's own past. Strange details begin to surface around town: roses blooming out of season in a well-tended rose bed, sidelong glances when the Cross family is mentioned, and subtle warnings to stay out of matters that don't concern her. But when Amber learns that her new friend Riley is living under the thumb of the controlling Cross family, the journal's entries take on a chilling relevance. Determined to help, Amber teams up with Deputy Sheriff Dale, a steady, protective presence who is as committed to justice as he is to keeping Amber safe. Their search leads them through dusty attics, along windswept beaches, and into the shadow of the old lighthouse-a place that seems to hold more than just history. As danger draws closer, Amber must summon the courage to confront the past, protect her friends, and trust that God's guidance can lead them through even the darkest moments. Bits & Pieces of a Mystery is a suspenseful and inspirational cozy mystery-the first in the Murphy's Corner Mysteries. Set on a picturesque island where every shop has a story and every neighbor has a secret, it's perfect for readers who enjoy small-town settings, strong female leads, slow-burn romance, and mysteries that blend danger, hope, and faith.
