About this audiobook
In 1952, Chillicothe, Illinois seems like a town with nothing to hide. Second Street bustles with familiar faces, shopkeepers open their doors, and life follows its usual rhythms. Then librarian Regina Armitage discovers an unsigned supply slip tucked inside an old city directory.
A misplaced document becomes the first clue in a mystery reaching from downtown shops and city offices to Shore Acres. Unexplained locks, back-door deliveries, and missing signatures lead Regina toward people whose influence depends on nobody asking questions.
As suspicions grow and reputations are threatened, she must follow the records wherever they lead. Someone is counting on the town’s trust and silence to keep the truth buried.
Whispers in a Ghost Town brings 1950s Chillicothe to life in a historical mystery of hidden deals, familiar places, and the courage to question people you thought you knew. For Regina, protecting her hometown begins with discovering what it has been persuaded to overlook.
