A Voice in the Dark

Ivy Harlow Cozy Mystery Series

By: Dianne Harman

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

When a podcaster searching for answers in her son's death stumbles upon a missing girl's case, she discovers that some truths refuse to stay buried.

Ivy Harlow thought moving to the quiet town of Cedar Bluff, Oklahoma would give her a fresh start—a chance to escape the whispers and pitying looks that followed her after her son Adam's fatal car accident. But the grief she carries and the nagging suspicion that Adam's death wasn't the simple accident everyone claimed it to be refuse to let her rest.

When nineteen-year-old Rachel Covington goes missing, Ivy finds herself reluctantly drawn into the search. As the host of A Voice in the Dark, a true crime podcast focused on cold cases, Ivy has always kept a safe distance from active investigations. But Rachel's desperate mother sees in Ivy what the local police won't: someone who refuses to accept convenient explanations when the truth demands more.

Following a trail of half-truths and small-town secrets, Ivy uncovers witnesses who were overlooked, timelines that don't add up, and a dangerous pattern hiding in plain sight. With each revelation about Rachel's disappearance, Ivy inches closer to understanding what really happened to her own son.

But digging up the truth comes at a cost. Someone in Cedar Bluff doesn't want Rachel found, and as Ivy closes in on answers, she realizes that uncovering one mystery might mean putting her own life at risk. In a town where everyone knows everyone—and where trucks appear too often to be coincidence—Ivy must decide how far she's willing to go for justice, both for a missing girl she never knew and for the son she'll never stop fighting for.
