Author: Series: Publication Date:
September 2025

When reporter Meg Reed discovers a body during what should have been a fun surf lesson, she knows immediately that this was no accident.

Meg arrived in Hood River to cover the prestigious King of the Hook windsurfing competition for her magazine, hoping for a straightforward assignment involving sun, sand, and spectacular stunts. Instead, she finds herself struggling to stay afloat during a surf lesson when she discovers the lifeless body of a superstar windsurfer.

With the competition in chaos and the small town buzzing with rumors, Meg can’t resist investigating what really happened on the water that morning. Between dodging heat exhaustion, navigating romantic confusion with her best friend Matt, and uncovering long-buried grudges in the tight-knit surfing community, she realizes that beneath Hood River’s laid-back exterior lurk some seriously dangerous currents.

But with a murderer still on the loose, she’ll need a healthy dose of determination, a strong mocha and her trusty reporter’s instincts to survive this story.

Note: A Body at the Beach was previously published as Silenced in the Surf and the series name was Pacific Northwest Mystery written by Kate Dyer-Seeley (AKA Ellie Alexander). Ellie Alexander has renamed Silenced in the Surf and has now put her name on the novel which is renamed A Body at the Beach.
