Between The Pages - Red Shadows at Saugatuck

Red Shadows at Saugatuck 
Randy Overbeck 
July 2025 

Darrell Henshaw hoped he was past it all. After all, no ghosts had visited him for years. Instead, he learns his five-year-old-son, Leo, has inherited his “gift.” Now, they both can see ghosts. 

Upon his parents’ insistence, Darrell drives his young family 800 miles to celebrate his aunt Gertrude’s 80th birthday. But, once they arrive in the resort town of Saugatuck, Michigan, their participation gets derailed by the spirit of a Native teen who went missing weeks earlier. When he and Leo inquire about the girl, the locals dismiss their concerns—"Those girls run away all the time.” Still, as questions pile up and threats grow, Darrell senses they may have stumbled onto something far worse and even more evil than one missing teen. 

Can Darrell continue to pursue justice for the girl if it places his wife and son in danger? 

Between The Pages 
This is the fourth book in The Haunted Shores Mysteries Series, and it did not disappoint. Like the other books in this series, the author told a captivating story, but this book rose above the others. Darrell and Erin now have a son, who inherited his gift and made an even better storyline. Their united family bond was strong and propelled the scenes. This was a paranormal fantasy, but it touched on the real-life issues of missing Indigenous women with heartbreaking and emotional elements. Overbeck is a dominant storyteller of mystery and suspense. A must-read book and series.
