Hawthorne Reach
Echo Mysteries

At forty-six, divorced and starting over in a small New England town, former insurance fraud investigator Cora Whitcomb takes over Whitcomb Estate Services, where old houses, disputed inheritances, antiques, provenance, and the possessions people leave behind are part of the job.

Then Cora discovers that emotionally charged objects can leave impressions behind—fractured flashes of memory, feeling, sound, and sensation. The Echoes are never complete. They never name a killer. But they have a habit of drawing her toward secrets someone would rather keep buried.

With her smoke-gray cat Moss nearby, a wary local detective in her orbit, and Hawthorne Reach’s close-knit community watching, Cora must combine professional skepticism, hard evidence, and a gift she is still learning to understand.

The Hawthorne Reach Echo Mysteries are atmospheric paranormal cozy mysteries featuring a midlife witch, fair-play murder cases, antique objects, historic New England settings, small-town secrets, and restrained magic. Each book delivers a complete mystery while Cora’s life—and the deeper secrets of Hawthorne Reach—continue across the series.
