Hidden Pages

Evie Marlowe never set out to be a detective of the past. She was simply hunting for treasures at a rummage sale when she brought home an old family Bible. But tucked between its worn pages was a single name-Rosamund Rowe-and that discovery changes everything.

What begins as idle curiosity soon pulls Evie into Riverbend’s oldest and darkest secret. Custody battles whispered but never spoken, court records with pages torn away, and a trust that trapped a girl in childhood long after she should have grown-all point to a family that would do anything to keep their story buried.

With the help of her sharp-witted grandmother and a new friend who shares her love of history, Evie follows a trail of clues that leads from attics and archives to dangers that have lingered for seventy years. The deeper she digs, the more she realizes some secrets don’t stay hidden forever.

Hidden Pages is the first stand-alone novel in the Accidental Genealogist Anthology, where everyday lives intersect with extraordinary mysteries locked in the past.
