The Ink That Remains
(2025)(The third book in the Tumblebrook Mystery series)
A novel by Ellen Le Teace
In the idyllic lakeside town of Tumblebrook, stories are currency—and silence is power.
When beloved librarian Eleanor Perkins dies under suspicious circumstances, innkeeper Amelia Farnsworth discovers that her quaint community is built on more than cobblestones and cordial smiles.
What was once a postcard-perfect community on Minnesota’s North Shore soon reveals a hidden past—one written in coded journals, forged documents, and whispered betrayals.
With the help of her sharp-eyed friend Clara Henderson and the inn’s feline guardian, Lady Grey, Amelia begins to piece together Eleanor’s final message: a warning buried beneath generations of civic pride and carefully preserved tradition.
But exposing the truth is only the beginning.
As townsfolk awaken to their stolen legacy, Amelia and Clara must navigate a rising tide of resistance—and reimagine what justice, community, and leadership can look like when everyone has a voice.
Warm, witty, and steeped in small-town intrigue, Tumblebrook: The Ink That Remains is a cozy mystery where history isn’t just remembered—it’s reclaimed.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
