“They thought the edge of the world was a good place to lose a child.”

A letter comes out of Donegal: fifty years of a family's record, kept on a lough at the last parish before America. Maya Anders follows it to the wild northwest of Ireland — and to a truth that reaches all the way back to where the whole of it began, and proves the machine was never one country's. It was one design, planted at every edge of the world at once. The sixth and final Tide House Mystery.

The opening

How it begins

‘They thought the edge of the world was a good place to lose a child. They never once considered that the edge of the world is where people learn to keep things.’ — Peggy Boyle, in a copybook, 1971

For every keeper, in every water, who was told they were the last — and never were.

Who it is for

Is this your kind of book?

The House on the Lough 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 Six 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.
