Some families bury their secrets. Others erase the people who know them.
When investigative genealogist Genevere Christian discovers a forgotten child in the records of a wealthy Massachusetts family, she expects a difficult search through decades of incomplete documents.
Then a local records expert turns up dead.
The Calder family has spent generations protecting its reputation, and an ambitious redevelopment project now depends on property rights that may not be as secure as they appear. Somewhere in the family's original trust records lies the answer to a question no one seems willing to confront: What happened to the grandson who disappeared from the official family history?
As Genevere follows a trail of missing documents, altered records, and suspicious financial transactions, she uncovers a past shaped by forbidden relationships, family pressure, and promises that were never meant to be forgotten.
But someone in the present has far more to lose than an old family secret.
With a murder investigation closing in and powerful interests determined to control the truth, Genevere must establish what the original records reveal before the evidence disappears for good.
And as her growing relationship with Noah Bell offers the possibility of a future beyond her investigations, Genevere faces a reminder of why she began this work: every forgotten life deserves to have its story told.
An atmospheric, character driven mystery filled with family secrets, disputed inheritances, historical clues, and deadly consequences.
Perfect for readers who enjoy intelligent female sleuths, genealogy mysteries, and suspense rooted in the secrets families leave behind.
The Inheritance of Silence is Book 3 in the Genevere Christian Series, featuring an individual mystery that can be enjoyed on its own.
