All Is Now Lost is the first book in The Island Mysteries series: a character-driven Lowcountry cozy mystery set on a fictional South Carolina island inspired by Daufuskie.

​

When Carr Jepson arrives on Mongin Island seeking a fresh start after personal loss, she expects quiet beaches, friendly neighbors, and the kind of small-town charm that makes healing possible. What she doesn’t expect is tragedy.

​

As whispers move through the island community and buried secrets begin to surface, Carr finds herself drawn into a mystery. In a place where everyone knows everyone, and loyalty runs deep,  uncovering the truth may be harder than anyone expects. 

​

Perfect for readers who love:

• Cozy mystery books set in small towns

• Southern fiction with heart

• Amateur sleuth stories

• Atmospheric island settings

• Books like Murder, She Wrote or Father Brown

With salt air, porch-swing conversations, and clues hidden in plain sight, All Is Now Lost introduces readers to a mystery series where setting is a character — and the island always remembers.
