The Complete Works
Four novels of quiet dread, buried secrets, and the long reach of the past.
The Vanishing at Greymere
2019
A woman disappears from a locked estate, and the only witness is the house itself.
When investigator Maren Voss is summoned to the crumbling Greymere estate, she expects a routine missing-persons case. What she finds instead is a family bound by silence, a manor full of sealed rooms, and a truth that someone will kill to keep buried.
A Silence in the Marshes
2021
The tides go out, and what they leave behind was never meant to be found.
A fisherman's discovery at the edge of a Maine salt marsh pulls Maren Voss into a decades-old web of coastal grudges and buried debts. As autumn closes the roads and fog swallows the shoreline, she begins to understand that some silences are enforced.
The Cormorant's Confession
2022
He confessed to everything, but the one crime that mattered he would not name.
A dying man summons Maren Voss to a harborside inn and begins to confess to a string of unsolved disappearances spanning thirty years. Before he can finish, he is found dead, and his confession has vanished with him.
What the Clock Remembers
2024
Every mechanism has a memory, and this one has been keeping secrets since 1943.
When an antique clockmaker's workshop is ransacked and its elderly owner left for dead, Maren Voss uncovers a hidden compartment inside an heirloom timepiece holding evidence of a wartime betrayal. The closer she gets to the truth, the more she suspects the past is not finished with the present.
