Simon Calder
The Actor
A former stage actor with a gift for reading people, Simon returns to Calder House expecting dust, paperwork, and family history.
Instead, he finds a locked room, an old Christmas card, and a secret the inn has kept for decades.
Simon has spent his life studying entrances, exits, pauses, and performances. Now those same instincts may help him uncover the truth behind Room Seven.
Hannah Mercer
The Chief
Practical, sharp, and deeply protective of Brindle Harbor, Chief Hannah Mercer has little patience for old gossip dressed up as mystery.
But when Simon begins asking questions about Room Seven, Hannah knows better than to dismiss Calder House history too quickly.
In a town built on long memories, even the quietest secrets can still matter.
Olivia Bennett
The Organizer
Practical, curious, and quietly determined, Olivia helps Simon sort through the forgotten corners of Calder House.
She expects ledgers, linens, and restoration headaches. What she finds instead is a trail of clues: a missing brass key, an old card, and a room no one seems eager to discuss.
Olivia may not be looking for a mystery, but she knows when something has been hidden for too long.
