Some songs are meant to be finished together.
When Hazel Whitby brings home an old upright piano from a local estate sale, she expects little more than a charming centerpiece for her apartment above Hazel's Hearth bookshop. What she doesn't expect is to find dozens of carefully preserved letters hidden inside the piano bench-love letters written during the Vietnam War, addressed to a soldier who never returned the way he left.
As Hazel follows the trail of forgotten correspondence, she uncovers a story of music, separation, and a love that quietly endured for more than fifty years. With the help of Willowbrook's close-knit community, Hazel pieces together a past shaped by war, sacrifice, and the cost of choosing safety over longing.
The Letters in the Piano Bench is a gentle, contemplative cozy mystery-free of violence and crime-about uncovering stories that deserve to be remembered, and the healing that comes when the truth is finally heard.
Perfect for readers who love:
Quiet mysteries rooted in memory and emotion
Small-town settings with familiar faces
Letters, music, and hidden histories
Reflective storytelling with heart
This is Book Four in the Lavender Lane Mysteries, but it can be enjoyed as a standalone.
