The Yellow Room

🔎 The Plot

World War II on the Maine coast: the family’s shuttered summer house is opened for the season—and in the Yellow Room, a stranger’s body is found hidden away. With trains packed with soldiers, lights doused for blackouts, and nerves frayed by rumor, suspicion ricochets through the household and the tight-lipped village beyond.

Who had the key? Why was the room sealed? And why do the small, “domestic” details, laundered linens, a moved chair, a window unlatched, tell a story no one wants to hear? As authorities circle and old scandals surface, a determined young woman must untangle motives of love, fear, and wartime desperation before the killer strikes again.

🧨 The Hook

A country-house mystery sharpened by home-front tension: ration books, blackout curtains, and a locked room where every ordinary object becomes a clue.
