Murder at the Shore
Robert Louis Rodgers
2nd Edition - Now Available (2026)
Windemere Bay is a peaceful summer resort at the New Jersey Shore, where families return year after year for sun, swimming, and relaxation. For twenty-year-old college student Alex Rhodes, it's supposed to be the perfect escape-lazy beach days with friends, a summer job at the local supermarket, and the hope of finally asking out Grace, the new cashier who catches his eye.
Then the notes appear.
On the Fourth of July, identical typed messages turn up in every mailbox: "SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE TONIGHT."
Most people laugh it off as a sick prank. Until the assistant groundskeeper is found floating lifeless in the resort pool the next morning.
The police rule it an accident. Alex isn't convinced.
When a second body turns up-and then a third-the pattern becomes impossible to ignore. As more cryptic warnings appear, the idyllic resort begins to feel like a trap, and Alex realizes someone at Windemere Bay may be hiding a deadly secret.
With the body count rising, Alex and his tight circle of friends race to uncover the truth before another life is taken. In a close-knit summer community where everyone knows your name, the killer could be anyone.
Murder at the Shore is an atmospheric whodunit blending small-town secrets, summer nostalgia, amateur sleuthing, and escalating danger along the Jersey Shore.
