The Backward Page - A Small-Town Cozy Mystery of Buried Secrets, Second Chances, and One Very Suspicious Cat

Some secrets aren't buried in the ground. They're buried in the archive - filed backward, in handwriting that shouldn't still be wet after twenty years.

Nora Vance came home to Millbrook to save her family's newspaper, not to reopen her grandmother's last investigation. But her grandmother's cat won't stop pointing her toward the truth, and Nora has spent her whole career believing that a story you can't finish isn't a story worth telling. She's not looking for a mystery. She's looking for a reason to believe the woman who raised her died trying to do something that actually mattered - and she's not going to stop until she knows for certain who made sure that truth never made it to print.

The closer Nora gets, the more the people she's starting to love have reasons to want her to stop. Every answer she finds only proves that someone she trusts has been lying to her face for twenty years - and that whoever it is has had two decades to make sure she'd never find out. She's almost there. She's almost out of people left to suspect. And she's about to learn that some doors, once you open them, don't let you decide who walks through first.  How do you keep chasing the truth when you're no longer sure you'll survive finding out who's been hiding it?
