Robinson Lake

Mystery by Sheryl Beyer

When old coins begin appearing around Robinson Lake — tucked near tree roots, resting on docks, hidden in the shoreline stones — Lilly realizes they aren’t random. Some are common. Some are rare. Some belong to coin collections that should never have been scattered. At the lakeside café, customers bring their own pieces of the puzzle: a pilot from the nearby historic airfield, fishermen who know every bend of the shoreline, families who return each summer with stories of the past. Even the biplanes overhead seem to carry echoes of the history unfolding below. As the seasons turn, the mystery deepens. The coins point toward the resort’s past, the people who once tended the land, and a story waiting to be restored. What begins as a simple discovery becomes a yearlong search for what was lost — and what still wants to be found. A gentle, place‑rooted mystery for readers who enjoy small‑town history, lakeside life, and stories that unfold with the turning of the seasons.
