Murder on the Last Ferry : A Poisoned Passenger, a Missing 1909 Manifest, and Four Minutes No One Can Explain
Overview
On the last ferry to Alderbell, one passenger will not live to see morning.
Bell conservator Mara Venn is returning from the mainland aboard the M/V Rainshadow when port consultant Martin Quillan makes a dangerous claim: he has proof of two lies-one modern, and one buried in Alderbell's past.
Before the ferry reaches the island, Martin collapses.
By the time the vessel docks, his document tube is missing, his coffee mug has become evidence, and five passengers and crew members have reasons to hide what happened during the crossing.
The Rainshadow should be one of the most controlled crime scenes Mara has ever encountered. Cameras watched the public decks. Crew doors generated records. Every passenger had somewhere to be.
Someone still found a few unobserved minutes.
Even Rook's strange ability becomes unreliable once the ferry moves beyond the reach of Alderbell's bells, forcing Mara to confront a dangerous truth: silence is not the same thing as innocence.
To identify a killer, she must reconstruct the crossing minute by minute, separate modern corruption from a century-old secret, and follow physical evidence that cannot lie-even when people do.
Murder on the Last Ferry is Book Two of The Alderbell Island Mysteries. The murder is fully solved in this volume, while the larger mystery of Alderbell's missing eighth bell continues.
