Description:
Some houses hold memories.
This one holds a corpse. Salvager Paisley Sutton has seen her share of dusty attics and creaky staircases. But when she stumbles upon a body in a soon-to-be-demolished home, she discovers a story that was never meant to be told. The past may be long gone, but its secrets are alive and dangerous.
Can Paisley stitch together the truth before she's the next thread cut?
Brief description: ACF Bookens loves a good mystery, a quaint bookshop, and a good cup of coffee. She lives in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, where she takes joy in the mountain views and the quiet back roads. She lives with her son Milo and a beautiful rescue hound who inspired Mayhem in her St. Marin's Cozy Mystery Series. Aslan, the cat in her books, is based on her departed first cat by that name, who spent an inordinate amount of time digging up her houseplants. In her books, Bookens addresses issues of justice and writes with intention to disrupt the white supremacy that says that "whiteness" is normal by making purposeful note of every character's ethnicity. She is weary of books that assume everyone is white unless the author says otherwise because being white is not the default of reality. Her hope is that readers enjoy escaping into her stories and are challenged, just a little, to make themselves better people and the world a better place from the reading.
