Whispers of a Poisoned Past
A forgotten diary. A haunted manor. A town where secrets refuse to stay buried…
When Alice Grant stumbles across a chilling journal hidden in her bookshop, she never expects it to lead her to Willow Bend Manor — an abandoned estate steeped in tragedy. But when a gathering of locals turns deadly, Alice and retired detective Walter Bishop must uncover the truth before history repeats itself.
Someone in Willow Bend knows more than they’re saying. And if Alice isn’t careful, she could become the next name written in the diary.
Death in the Gallery
Granny's Got A Shovel
Granny's Got A Shovel
A quiet town. A shocking accusation. A grandmother who refuses to let sleeping secrets lie.
When Edith “Granny” Malloy’s grandson is accused of murdering Mosswood Hollow’s real estate queen, the town’s gossip mills go into overdrive. But Granny isn’t one to sit and knit while injustice brews—she’s out to clear his name, armed with sharp wits, sharper friends, and a trusty shovel that’s seen more than its fair share of action.
From bingo halls to backyard stakeouts, Granny digs through decades of lies to unearth the truth. But as she closes in on a killer with everything to lose, she learns that in Mosswood Hollow, not every secret stays buried—and not every friend can be trusted.
The Suitcase Beneath the Floorboards
The Suitcase Beneath the Floorboards
A boarded-up nursery. A hidden suitcase. A secret that refuses to stay forgotten.
When Vera Cartwright inherits her grandfather’s crumbling boarding house in Barrow Creek, she hopes it will be a fresh start. Instead, she discovers a suitcase beneath the nursery floor—filled with children’s clothes, a faded photograph, and a name that feels far too familiar.
As Vera searches for answers, whispers of a vanished child and a long-ago fire begin to surface. The town librarian warns her off, her mother grows fearful, and someone else seems determined to keep the past buried.
But in Barrow Creek, the truth isn’t lost—it’s waiting. And if Vera keeps digging, she may uncover a secret that was never meant to be found.
