Bitterport Mysteries, Book 3
A crumbling inheritance. A centuries-old secret. And a mystery that refuses to stay buried.
In the abandoned Tasmanian ghost town of Bitterport, the old bank has been waiting. When unemployed journalist Lucy Harwood inherits the crumbling nineteenth-century building, she sees her last chance to build something that matters. What she doesn’t expect is evidence that the man shot dead inside it in 1844 may not have been the criminal history remembers.
Acoustic engineer David Bell arrives to restore the space. He doesn’t plan on getting tangled in a cold case nearly two centuries old. He definitely doesn’t plan on falling for Lucy.
But the official story has holes. And the building’s ghostly inhabitant seems reluctant to let them ignore it.
As Lucy and David chase the truth through yellowed diaries, hidden letters, and discoveries that raise more questions than answers, Bitterport’s darkest secrets surface one devastating layer at a time. Someone worked hard to make sure the lie outlasted everyone who knew the truth.
They almost succeeded.
In Bitterport, the past doesn’t stay buried. It just waits for the right person to start digging.
