Buried Secrets

A Small Town Antique and Dog Cozy Mystery

By: Maisy Marple

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

When Taylor Grey's mischievous Siberian Husky digs up a tarnished Victorian locket near an old stone wall, she assumes it's just another forgotten treasure waiting to be reunited with its owner. But the delicate piece engraved with the initials "A.M." carries a weight far heavier than its sterling silver—and someone desperately wants it to stay buried. Within hours of posting about her find, Taylor receives an anonymous warning that sends chills down her spine. Then a body turns up in Millbrook Creek, and suddenly the antique dealer finds herself entangled in a mystery that stretches back eight years to a young woman who vanished without a trace.

As Taylor digs deeper into the past, she uncovers a web of secrets connecting the locket to a cold case that has haunted Sheriff Wade Callahan since his earliest days in law enforcement. A missing woman. A prominent local family. A contractor fleeing town. With help from her best friend Penny, the sharp-eyed Deputy Torres, and the charming appraiser Beau Kensington, Taylor begins piecing together a puzzle that someone has gone to deadly lengths to keep unsolved. Every answer leads to more questions, and every question leads closer to danger.

In the quiet town of Peaceful Falls, the past never stays buried for long. Taylor must race against time to uncover the truth before the killer silences anyone else who gets too close. With her loyal Husky by her side and her instincts sharper than ever, she's determined to bring justice to the forgotten and peace to those left behind—even if it means unearthing secrets that were meant to stay hidden forever.
