Tide & Prejudice - A Cozy Paranormal Mystery Set in Scotland #978574

A dead man, a book of spells, and a seagull with opinions.
Dr Cass Winters came to Kilmaraig to disappear.
A marine biologist with a wrecked career and an inherited cottage she fully intends to sell, she wants nothing from the little Scottish fishing village but quiet, peaty water from the tap, and somewhere to lick her wounds. What she gets is a dead man on the beach — a developer washed up on the morning tide, his skin crawling with glowing runes that no one else can see.
Those runes match the symbols in a book of spells hidden under her grandmother’s floorboards. Because Euphemia Winters was the sea witch of Kilmaraig — and the gift, it turns out, runs in the blood.
Something ancient is stirring in the deep water off the headland. The binding that has kept it sleeping for fifty years is wearing thin, someone in the village is helping it along, and the only person who can see what’s coming is a grieving scientist who doesn’t believe in magic.
Cass has a PhD, a stolen fish supper, and a herring gull with opinions. She’s going to need all three.
Tide & Prejudice is the first book in the Kilmaraig Witch Mysteries — a paranormal cozy mystery series steeped in salt, secrets, and Scottish coastal magic.
