Whispers of Stone : A dark, unputdownable romantic cozy mystery where every bloodline hides a secret (Duncree Haven Romantic Mysteries Book 4)
By Cait Byrne
Some truths are buried to protect. Others are buried to destroy. Brenna is about to learn which kind she’s been chasing.
The secret beneath Duncree Haven finally has a face — and it’s far worse than a single murder.
What the Sinclairs have guarded for generations reaches back through the bloodlines of the village itself, tangled up in the ancient standing stones, the families who never leave, and a history someone rewrote a long time ago. And the deeper Brenna Callahan goes, the more horrifyingly personal it becomes. This isn’t just Duncree Haven’s story anymore. It’s hers.
Bodies are turning up across the beautiful coastal town, and there’s no one left Brenna and Cormac can safely trust. The village that closed ranks against her in the beginning has become a maze of hidden loyalties and quiet threats, where the person smiling at you over the harbour wall might be the one holding the knife.
Cormac O’Rourke has stopped believing in almost everyone. The betrayal cut too deep. But to stand any chance against what the Sinclairs have built — and to survive what the standing stones are about to reveal — two of the most stubbornly self-sufficient people on the Irish coast are going to have to do the one thing neither has any talent for……
Trust each other. Completely. Before it’s too late.
Perfect for fans of
Kate Morton, Kate Mosse, Frances Evesham, Susanna Kearsley, and readers who want their slow-burn romance to finally smoulder — inside a mystery that’s turned genuinely dangerous.
