Josie Halyard

Josie Halyard writes cozy mysteries set on the Saltwind Coast, where the causeway floods twice a day, the lighthouse never goes dark, and everybody knows everybody’s business.

The Knot-Wife Mysteries begin with Slack Water: Stella Curnow comes home to the tidal island of Merrow Holm to bury her grandmother, the island’s last knot-wife, and stays to solve its murders with the craft she ran away from.
