Secrets of the River

By Janene Morgan

In Wattle River, everyone knows everyone-or so it seems.

Life in the quiet Australian town runs on routine: morning coffees, familiar faces, and the comforting belief that nothing truly bad ever happens here. But when a local man is found dead after prying into long-buried town history, that illusion shatters.

Librarian Maggie Ellis prefers books to people and order to confrontation-but she knows better than most that stories don't stay hidden forever. As she follows a trail through dusty archives, whispered loyalties, and relationships tangled by time, Maggie begins to uncover truths the town would rather forget.

Because in Wattle River, secrets run as deep as the water-and someone is willing to kill to keep them buried.

Secrets of the River launches The Wattle River Mysteries, a contemporary cosy mystery series set in a close-knit Australian town where history matters, observation is everything, and danger lurks quietly beneath the surface.
