The Forgotten Chapter: A Millbrook Falls Bookshop Mystery

A quiet bookshop. A dead town official. And a secret someone will do anything to keep buried.

Clara thought The Forgotten Chapter was only supposed to be temporary.

But when longtime town power broker Walter Higgins turns up dead, Clara finds herself drawn into a mystery that reaches far deeper into Millbrook Falls than anyone wants to admit.

Walter was the kind of man who collected secrets—and Clara soon discovers that he kept records of them, too.

A missing ledger.
A suspicious payment trail.
A frightened bakery owner.
An old family secret.
And someone who is desperate to make sure Clara stops asking questions.

With the help of Theo, her sharp-eyed young assistant, and Nate, the local sheriff who knows Clara better than she realizes, she begins piecing together a trail that leads back years into the town's past.

But the closer Clara gets to the truth, the more dangerous the investigation becomes.

Because in Millbrook Falls, everyone has something they'd rather keep hidden.

And Walter Higgins may have taken his secrets to the grave—but someone else is determined to make sure they stay there.

The Forgotten Chapter is the first book in a charming small-town mystery series featuring a curious bookshop owner, a close-knit community, buried secrets, and a mystery that refuses to stay buried.
