The Girl Vanished

By Jessica Ann

In the small, lakeside Adirondack town of Bellegrave, the dead hold dangerous secrets, and only Dr. Della James can speak to them.

Just as soon as she can get her geriatric historical reenactment volunteers to put on underwear.

As director of the Bellegrave Historical Society, Della's biggest concern is the annual fundraiser for Founder's Day, which keeps the society's living history museum operating. So when her best friend Detective Carmen Neil asks for her help in investigating a cold case of a girl who disappeared and was presumed murdered twenty-seven years ago, Della only agrees to accompany Carmen to the girl's childhood home to see if she can communicate with her spirit and provide Carmen with fresh leads.

Only to discover the girl is not among the dead.

Troubled by what she experienced, Della has no choice but to uncover the truth about what happened twenty-seven years ago. With a collapsing marriage and a gala to put on, Della struggles to push forward in a case that has her prying into the lives of some of the small town's most revered citizens. But even as doors are slammed in her face and people refuse to talk, Della will soon discover the dead aren't the only thing best left buried.
