Ashwood Manor: The truth beneath room 13

By Christine Elizabeth Brown

Some secrets don't stay buried.
Eleanor Carrow has lived at Ashwood Manor for three peaceful years - comforted by routine, an old friend down the hall, and a view of the garden she loves. But something in Room Thirteen has never let her rest.
When new care assistant Clara notices what the rest of the staff have quietly learned not to see, she's pulled into a silence that has held for fifty years - one that reaches back to St. Ainsley's Hospital, and to a young man named Thomas who tried to expose the truth and paid for it with his life.
As Clara digs deeper, she discovers she isn't the only one carrying pieces of the past. Two of her colleagues once worked at St. Ainsley's themselves - and one of them has been hiding evidence in an old tin box for over twenty years.
The deeper they dig, the closer they come to a truth that was never meant to surface: nine people, buried beneath a room nobody was ever supposed to open.
Some doors were never meant to be opened.
Ashwood Manor: The Truth Beneath Room 13 is Book Two in the Ashwood Manor series - a slow-burn psychological thriller about memory, guilt and the courage it takes to finally tell the truth, even fifty years too late
