When former prosecutor Maggie Glass trades the chaos of the Bronx courts for the quiet New England village of Bell Harbor, she believes she’s starting fresh: a teaching post in criminology, a charming old farmhouse on Nutmeg Hill, and time, at last, to rediscover herself. But Bell Harbor’s picturesque streets and riverside views hide more than postcard charm—beneath the surface lie secrets, betrayals, and crimes that demand Maggie’s sharp mind and relentless pursuit of justice.
Each novel in the series follows Maggie as she is drawn into mysteries that strike uncomfortably close to home. Whether it’s her loyal Lab, Pumpkin, uncovering a buried body, a neighbor’s disappearance that unsettles the whole town, or long-buried family secrets returning to haunt the present, Maggie finds that her legal instincts and prosecutor’s training won’t stay tucked away in the classroom. Partnering with Detective Finnegan—her steadfast companion in both love and investigation—and supported by her best friend, Megan, Maggie confronts puzzles where small-town life collides with big consequences.
From hidden crimes along the Connecticut River to echoes of past wrongs that refuse to stay buried, The Maggie Glass Mysteries blend New England charm with page-turning suspense. At its heart, the series explores not just the pursuit of justice, but the resilience of a woman rebuilding her life, the complexities of family, and the unshakable truth that even the quietest places can hold the darkest secrets.
