The House on the Salt
$5.99 · eBook · instant download
“The pattern was never English. It only ever hid where no one would look.”
On the salt flats of the Languedoc, a schoolteacher drowns in a lagoon she has known all her life — a fortnight after she posts three careful pages to the police. Honor Whitling is nearly at the end of her career, and this case belongs to her successor, Maya Anders, who follows a fifty-year record kept beneath a salt-shed floor as the étang begins, at last, to give up its dead.

How it begins
‘The sea keeps nothing. It is the salt that remembers.’ — Languedoc proverb
For the keepers across the water, whose language we did not need to share.
Is this your kind of book?
The House on the Salt 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 Four 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.
