The Bookbinder's Widow Knows When You Lie
A Horror Mystery Cozy Fantasy NovelBy Thaddeus Osborne
Length10h
About this audiobook
Constance Lye has bound books on Bainbridge Island for forty years, and every volume she finishes has the same quiet gift: a lie written near the spine will warp it.
Then the historical society brings her their founding history. She sews it once. The spine twists. She sews it again. It twists harder.
Every page is a lie. And the deeper Constance looks, the more the same drowned child keeps appearing — in four families, under four names, with one identical hand in the margin. The hand belongs to a man who died in 1991, and the last entry in his ledger is dated after his funeral.
The society wants the book by Founders' Day. Constance wants the truth. She is going to bind both.
A horror mystery of small towns, buried ledgers, and the one book a town will do anything to keep from opening.
