Mourn Not Your Dead

Detective Sergeant Duncan Kincaid, visiting his ex-wife and young son in a picturesque New England coastal town, finds his planned period of family reconnection disrupted when a local woman dies under suspicious circumstances.

Unofficially and off-duty, he becomes entangled in unraveling the truth, navigating the close-knit environment where secrets are as common as the sea mist. The narrative focuses on Kincaid's internal struggle to balance his personal obligations with his innate drive for justice, as he encounters a community of artists and writers who guard their pasts. Themes of hidden grief, the suffocating nature of secrets within tight communities, and the complexities of fractured families are explored. The book is compelling due to its atmospheric portrayal of a seemingly idyllic setting hiding darker currents, Kincaid's outsider perspective allowing him to see what locals might miss, and the gradual, intricate unveiling of a mystery driven by buried resentments and the devastating consequences of past actions.
