The Silent Tides of Montague Island: An Emma Drake Mystery

Investigative podcaster Emma Drake has made a career out of hearing what everyone else misses. When she and her sound engineer, Leo, travel to remote Montague Island to record the centenary of a legendary shipwreck, they expect a fascinating story for their podcast-not a fight for survival.Then a violent Atlantic storm strands everyone on the island.When a young archivist disappears after uncovering evidence that could rewrite the island's history, Emma finds herself trapped with a handful of increasingly suspicious residents. Mysterious radio transmissions cut through the storm, lighthouse records have been deliberately mutilated, and every new recording uncovers another carefully hidden lie. With no ferry, no cell service, and help unable to reach the island, the truth is buried beneath generations of silence-and someone will kill to keep it that way.Unlike any other investigator, Emma doesn't chase footprints or rely on eyewitnesses. She listens. Forgotten recordings, distorted transmissions, subtle echoes, and sounds others dismiss become the clues that expose impossible alibis and unravel deadly deception. Every discovery brings her closer to the truth... and closer to the person determined to ensure those secrets are never heard.Perfect for readers who love atmospheric coastal mysteries, isolated island settings, clever fair-play puzzles, and amateur sleuths with a fresh investigative twist, The Silent Tides of Montague Island is a gripping standalone mystery in the Emma Drake Mysteries series that will keep you listening until the very last page-because on Montague Island, even after the mystery is solved, the island is still speaking.
