A long-buried secret. A silent bell. A choir that was never meant to sing again...
Wethersby, 1893. When the chapel bell tolls unexpectedly on a still spring morning, Arabella Grey finds herself drawn into a mystery buried deep beneath the stone floors of St. Anselm's Home for Orphans.
A forgotten photograph. A faded hymn. A child lost to silence.
As Arabella investigates the decades-old disappearance of a gifted choirboy named Elias, she uncovers a web of secrets kept quiet by shame, fear, and the passage of time. With the help of local archivist Catriona Bellamy and the gentle carvings of a silent woodworker, Arabella must give voice to those who were silenced and ask the hardest question of all: Why did no one come when the bell rang?
The eleventh novel in the Arabella Grey Mysteries, The Silent Choir is a richly atmospheric tale of grief, memory, and the power of listening. Perfect for fans of Dianne Freeman, T.E. Kinsey, and historical fiction with a haunting emotional core.
