| Plot Summary of Quissett |
|---|
"This mystery/drama set on Cape Cod begins with a hurriedly closed "accidental" drowning of a local marine biologist. During the story, secrets held by friends of the victim begin to unfold. Secrets that go back to their days in high school.
At the victim's funeral two young mourners reunite and begin a romantic relationship. This romance is often interrupted by metaphysical and paranormal twists that lead them to clues about the murder.
They unwittingly become the sleuths in solving this mystery by the spiritual forces guiding them to places and to people that all have something to do with the murder."
, Resident Scholar
