The Stolen Mermaid Statue: A Seaside Baker Cozy Mystery (Book 3) (The Seaside Baker Cozy Mystery)
By John Swagey, Liora Dawn
Escape to Bluebell Bay for a mystery steeped in folklore, secrets, and sea salt…
When the beloved Mermaid Statue vanishes overnight from the Bluebell Bay marina, seaside baker Emma Hart knows it’s more than a prank. The statue wasn’t just history—it was a symbol. And someone went to great lengths to erase it.
As whispers of ghostly sightings and developer schemes ripple through the coastal town, Emma discovers Aggie’s old journal may hold the key—along with coded recipes, hidden vaults, and a trail of secrets buried under salt and stone. With Rosa, her fearless best friend, and Muffin, her crumb-loving corgi, Emma follows the spiral map deeper into the town’s forgotten past.
But when shadowy figures emerge from the fog and threats hit too close to home, Emma must decide how far she’s willing to go to protect Bluebell Bay’s legacy—and what lies beneath the missing statue.
A secret society.
A sealed reliquary.
A seaside town with more than just scones to hide.
Perfect for fans of Ellie Alexander, Lee Strauss, and Maggie Blackburn, The Stolen Mermaid Statue is a warm, witty, and atmospheric cozy mystery full of heart, history, and twists.
