The Dead Woman’s Journal

A Part of The Lochmara Bookshop Mystery

A dead woman sends him a journal. A quiet Highland village hides a killer. And some secrets refuse to stay buried.

When Rory Glen inherits an antiquarian bookshop in the misty Scottish Highlands, he expects unpaid bills, damp shelves, and a fresh start he is not sure he wants.

Then a parcel arrives from Edinburgh.

It was sent by Elspeth Varrick, a retired teacher and local historian who died on a fog-covered road only weeks earlier. Everyone in Lochmara believes her death was a tragic hit-and-run.

But inside the parcel is an old Victorian journal, marked with strange pencil dots, literary clues, and a chilling hidden message:

Not accident. Ask why journal sent.

As Rory begins to follow the trail through forgotten books, village gossip, old family papers, and the polished displays of the Lochmara Heritage Society, he discovers that Elspeth had uncovered something dangerous. Something someone in the village wanted buried beneath a prettier version of history.

With the help of sharp-tongued Morag Finch and warm-hearted tearoom owner Iona MacRae, Rory must decode the journal before the truth is rewritten forever.

Because in Lochmara, books remember.

And some secrets are worth killing for.

The Dead Woman’s Journal is a warm, atmospheric cozy mystery filled with old books, misty Highland lanes, village secrets, literary clues, and a slow-burning puzzle perfect for readers who love intelligent mysteries without graphic violence.
