Buried in the Walls
A chilling tale of forgotten secrets, crumbling walls, and the woman determined to uncover the truth.
A crumbling Victorian mansion. A woman searching for peace. A past that won’t stay buried.
After a messy divorce, psychologist Emma Clarke retreats from bustling Chicago to the small town of Madison, Illinois, hoping to rebuild her life in quiet solitude. She’s purchased a long-abandoned estate-sight unseen-once owned by the enigmatic Delaney family. The townspeople say it’s just an old house. Emma knows better.
From the moment she steps inside, strange things begin to happen. Hidden compartments reveal haunting journals. Whispered warnings echo in the night. And every creaking floorboard seems to carry the weight of someone else’s story.
As Emma restores the house, she uncovers the truth behind Margaret Delaney’s mysterious death decades earlier-and the chilling connection to the home’s last surviving heir. The more she digs, the more she realizes: the past didn’t die in this house. It’s been waiting.
Perfect for fans of Simone St. James, Jennifer McMahon, and Wendy Webb, Buried in the Walls is a haunting, slow-burn mystery about the legacies we inherit-and the ones that refuse to stay buried.
