A bookshop full of secrets. A town with a dark past. And books that remember what the dead cannot say.
When Cara Doyle inherits her late grandmother's antiquarian bookshop in the small coastal Irish town of Ennismore Bay, she expects dusty shelves and difficult decisions - not a supernatural gift she never asked for.
Because the books in The Turned Page hold more than stories. They hold the final memories of the dead.
When a local man is found at the base of the cliffs - his death ruled an accident - Cara discovers one of his books in the shop. The moment she opens it, she's plunged into fragments of his last days: the fear, the secrets, and the name of someone he trusted with his life.
Now Cara must use her grandmother's hidden journal, her own sharp instincts, and the unreliable whispers of the dead to uncover the truth - before the forty-day window closes and the book falls silent forever.
But in a town where everyone is watching and someone powerful has a great deal to lose, asking the wrong question could put Cara on the same cliff path as the man she's trying to save.
What the Dead Left Unread is the first book in the Turned Page Mystery series - a cosy paranormal mystery set on Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way, featuring a sharp-witted heroine, a skeptical detective with secrets of his own, and a bookshop where the stories between the covers are only half the story.
Perfect for readers who love: cosy mysteries with a paranormal twist, atmospheric Irish settings, bookshop fiction, amateur sleuth series, and slow-burn romantic tension.
