It never was.When a cold case from Phillip Island's past lands on her desk, Della finds herself doing the one thing she came here to stop doing — following the evidence wherever it leads, no matter how long it has been buried or how many people would prefer it stay that way.The Tide Remembers is the first book in The Phillip Island Murder Casebook Series — longer, more complex investigations by Della Marsh, inspired by true events, set on and around the island she now calls home.The tide keeps coming back. So does Della.
