In the caves of Hocking Hills, some secrets are worth killing for...

Travel writer Kit Danvers was just looking for scenic cave descriptions for her latest assignment. Instead, she found a dead body – and a mystery that runs deeper than any cavern.

When local historian Charlie Tate is found dead in Whispering Cave – a victim of exposure, according to officials – Kit's journalistic instincts tell her something isn't right. Charlie was an expert caver who knew these passages better than anyone. How could he have gotten lost and died in familiar territory?

As Kit investigates alongside her faithful Australian Cattle Dog, Yarrow, she discovers Charlie had recently uncovered something significant about the cave's history – something connected to the wealthy Grayson family and their Prohibition-era past. But when Kit's cabin is ransacked and a mysterious rock fall nearly traps her underground, it becomes clear someone will do anything to keep those secrets buried.

With help from kindhearted bakery owner Olivia Carter and handsome park ranger Ben Holloway, Kit follows a trail of clues through winding tunnels and local legends. But the deeper they dig, the more dangerous their investigation becomes. The caves of Hocking Hills have been hiding darkness for generations – and disturbing their shadows could prove deadly.

Can a travel writer with a knack for mystery and her clever canine companion uncover the truth before they become the killer's next victims? Or will they be silenced forever by the whispers in the dark?

"Whispers in the Dark" is the third book in the delightful Kit Danvers Mystery series, perfect for fans of small-town mysteries, amateur sleuths, and lovable canine sidekicks. Join Kit and Yarrow as they navigate danger, deception, and the stunning beauty of Hocking Hills in this charming whodunit that proves the most dangerous secrets often hide in the most beautiful places.
