She went missing on the highest tide of the winter. She came back dry.
On the night of the twelfth of February the water comes up twenty-two inches over
the church path on Sable Point, and nobody walks anywhere for eleven hours. Everybody
stands at their own window with a light. It is the best-witnessed night in the history
of the island.
Nan Crockett walks up to the schoolhouse at a quarter to seven with a canvas bag and
a beagle, and nobody ever sees her again.
Three days later two watermen find her on the marsh, below the line the tide reached
— with her coat dry, her scarf unfelted, and her hair dry to the scalp.
Water leaves silt. Water always leaves silt.
Nell Pruitt pours the coffee, stamps the mail, and now holds this island's paperwork.
She is going to have to work out where a woman can be kept dry for two and a half days
on an island that goes under twice a day — and then live with the answer, in a
place where every single person already knows what everybody owns and nobody has ever
had to write it down.
The second Sable Point Island Mystery. A closed-circle whodunit with a warm heart,
no gore, no bad language, and one of Ada Pruitt's recipes at the back.
