Blackwood Secrets: A Claire Monroe Novel

**Some secrets are buried. Others are buried on purpose.** When investigative journalist **Claire Monroe** returns to her hometown of Blackwood, Virginia, to settle her late grandmother's estate, she expects to uncover family memories-not decades of deadly secrets. Hidden inside an old wooden lockbox are journals, cassette tapes, faded photographs, and one impossible message: *Find the truth before someone else finds you.* As Claire follows a trail that stretches back more than thirty years, she uncovers the disappearance of a teenage girl, the murder of an innocent man, a powerful family determined to protect its legacy, and a conspiracy that has shaped Blackwood for generations. With Sheriff Ben Carter at her side-a man searching for the truth about his own father's death-Claire must decide how much she's willing to risk to expose a past someone is still willing to kill to protect. But in a town where silence has always been mistaken for loyalty, the greatest danger isn't uncovering the truth... ...it's surviving it. **Blackwood Secrets** is an emotionally gripping Christian suspense novel filled with unforgettable characters, shocking twists, family redemption, and the powerful reminder that even the darkest secrets cannot overcome the light of truth. **Perfect for readers who enjoy** Colleen Coble, Irene Hannon, Lynette Eason, and Patricia Bradley.
