A Story by Jenna Hartwell
A Hidden Past. A Mysterious Letter. A Cottage Full of Secrets.
Allie Harper thought a quiet New England village would bring peace. Instead, she found a skeleton.
After getting dumped and losing her job, she packs up her kitten Simon and they leave Boston behind.
As she renovates her dusty Victorian cottage, she discovers a hidden cupboard, an old blueprint, and a letter from 1896.
Compelled to dig into the past, she finds the writer’s husband had vanished. And someone still wanted it kept quiet.
Drawn into a mystery the town would rather forget, Allie hears whispers that point to Leonard Granger, a powerful local with deep roots and deeper grudges. Even kind-eyed historian Jacob Holloway seems to be hiding something.
With help from two nosy neighbors and the ever-curious Simon, Allie follows a trail of clues through hidden tunnels and long-buried secrets.
*someone is willing to keep the truth buried*
She’ll have to solve the mystery fast, before she becomes the next to vanish.
