Day 5689
Day 5689 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Nell Tidewater and Mabel Tidewater have quietly become the sort of friends who notice things. Bea Callahan has received a postcard from somewhere far away. The handwriting is unfamiliar. Dot Ferris claims to have seen the lighthouse postcard somewhere improbable. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Case of the Missing Lighthouse Postcard takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
