the Ghost in Garden: 2

The first ghost of the season appears at the Moonflower Café. When Anna Whitcomb arrives in Bellwick carrying a blue suitcase, a bundle of letters, and a black rose, Mara Bell knows that the stranger has come searching for more than a lost family story. Anna wants the truth about her aunt, Lillian, who vanished thirty-five years ago-and whose name still lingers in the village like an unfinished promise. Then a woman in white appears at the Bell Gate. A handprint forms on the café window from the inside. Beneath the old ash tree, forgotten records begin to surface, revealing a missing page, a buried family secret, and a promise someone was willing to kill to protect. As Mara and Elias follow the trail from the historical society to the old garden and a forgotten passage beneath the lake, the line between ghost story and human crime begins to disappear. Every letter carries a warning. Every name may be false. And every step deeper into Bellwick brings them closer to a truth the village has spent decades trying to forget. Because some ghosts are not the dead. Some are the people a village chose to forget. The Ghost in the Garden is a cozy mystery of village secrets, atmospheric suspense, hidden histories, and the dangerous memories that refuse to stay buried. Book Two of The Moonflower Mysteries.
