One false obituary. A woman who lived another forty-six years. A child hidden beneath four names.
When a 1952 death notice is discovered in the Loughhaven Gazette archive, probate genealogist Anna Harland finds an impossible contradiction. Agnes Mary Bell supposedly died peacefully at Harbour View-yet electoral records, a passport application and a verified certificate show that she remained alive until 1998.
The notice refers to a surviving child no birth register can identify and to a dormant fund now only weeks from passing away as unclaimed property. A school photograph circles one girl in a blue ribbon. Beneath the clipping, conservator Maya Singh uncovers the words the newspaper removed: Agnes Mary Bell, though not deceased.
With Daniel Harland and solicitor Frances Morrow, Anna follows the child through the names Keane, Bell, Gray and Ward; a missing birth return; a midnight departure; a Canadian family record; and a deed box hidden beneath the floor of a memorial room.
The evidence can restore a mother's life and release an inheritance intended for the child she protected. But correction must not turn private family history into public property-or confuse the people who preserved the truth with those legally entitled to own it.
The Obituary for a Woman Still Living is a clean British inheritance mystery about identity, protection, stewardship and the difference between a record kept secret and a person who never existed. It is Book Fourteen of The Loughhaven Inheritance Mysteries and resolves its central case completely.
