When sixteen-year-old Ellie moves into a century-old house with her exhausted mother, she expects dust, awkward silence, and a life that doesn’t feel like hers. What she doesn’t expect is a hidden diary tucked inside the wall of her bedroom—one that belonged to Jessica Harlow, a girl who lived in the house in 1907 and died under circumstances the town long ago accepted as an accident. As Ellie reads deeper, she becomes haunted not only by the presence lingering in the hallway and mirror, but by the terrible truth buried beneath official records and family respectability. Atmospheric, intimate, and deeply unsettling, What the Walls Remember is a haunting psychological ghost story about grief, witness, and the quiet power of finally telling the dead: I believe you.
Fiona Mapleton writes paranormal cozy mysteries that celebrate found family, impossible love, and protagonists who solve the unsolvable. The Thornfield Hollow Mysteries feature Mara Westfield, a blind medium who teams up with the ghost of a 1952 murder victim to solve cold cases and catch killers. When not writing about ghosts and small-town secrets, Fiona can be found enjoying her two rough collies, drinking too much coffee, and plotting the perfect murder (on paper, of course).View all by Fiona Mapleton
