The Lily & Cassie By the Sea Mystery series follows two women solving crimes in a coastal setting. The seven books were published between 2022 and 2026, starting with Ghosts, Lore & a House by the Shore. The rhyming, descriptive titles are a hallmark of the series, with each one hinting at both the mystery and the seaside atmosphere.
Ghost characters appear throughout, giving the series a paranormal edge alongside its cozy mystery core. Maine’s coast provides the backdrop for the stories, and fans of Steele’s other Maine-set series will appreciate the shared geography.
