Silver keeps secrets the way the sea keeps drowned things - patiently, and not forever.
At sixty-one, Edie Sinclair has spent forty years at the bench, polishing other people's heirlooms in her little shop on the crumbling promenade of Saltmere, a seaside town that fashion forgot. She has also spent forty years keeping a quiet, uneasy secret: when she cleans a piece of old silver, it shows her the nights it once reflected - a stranger's parlour, a lamplit face, a moment no one was ever meant to see again.
Then a tarnished spoon comes across her bench - a christening spoon, stolen half a century ago - and the night it gives back to her is a night someone died.
The town has always called it a tragic accident. The silver says otherwise. As Edie polishes deeper into the past, a fifty-year-old murder wakes with her, and the comfortable stories Saltmere has told itself for two generations begin to tarnish and peel. Someone in this small, salt-worn town has kept a terrible thing bright and hidden all these years - and they would rather it stayed buried than let an old woman and an older spoon bring it into the light.
If you love:
- Atmospheric seaside settings and slow-burning cold-case mysteries
- An older, wiser heroine with decades of hard-won steel
- A quiet touch of the uncanny woven through an antique-shop world
- Dual-timeline secrets, faded grandeur, and a fair-play puzzle
- Cozy mysteries with heart, no gore, and no spice
A haunting, beautifully atmospheric standalone mystery for readers who know that the oldest secrets shine the brightest - and cut the deepest.
Pick up the silver. See what it saw.
