“The sea gives up its secrets eventually. Sometimes it takes years.”

When a man is found dead inside an abandoned salt boathouse on the North Yorkshire coast, Detective Inspector Honor Whitling is pulled into a case that feels disturbingly familiar.

The opening

How it begins

‘There are two kinds of people in a coastal town. The ones the sea brings in, and the ones it has not yet taken back.’

For everyone who has ever known that the official version was not the whole story.

Who it is for

Is this your kind of book?

The House Below the Tide is gothic coastal crime — six coastlines, six houses, and one long record of what a family was willing to bury. It is written for readers who want the patient kind of crime and suspense: plotted, unhurried, and more interested in what people conceal than in how loudly it ends.

This is Book Two of Tide House Mysteries. Each book closes its own case, so it can be read on its own — but the series is built to be read in order, and starting at The House at Winterkeep means the connections land the way they were written.

Why buy it here

Buying from this page gets you both formats in one purchase — the EPUB for your e-reader or phone, and the PDF for everything else. There is no DRM on either file, so the book is genuinely yours: move it between devices, keep a backup, read it in ten years on something that has not been invented yet.

The download link arrives the moment the payment clears, and it is tied to the email you paid with — so if you lose the file, the link can be re-issued to that same address. And buying direct means the money goes to the person who wrote the book rather than a retailer’s cut.
