    A hidden note. 
    A buried skeleton. 
    A mystery years in the making. 
    When a child’s scribbled note is found in an attic in the Scottish Highlands, it points to a long-concealed crime. Soon after, a skeleton is unearthed at a nearby archaeological dig—and secrets buried for decades begin to surface. 
    Detective John Prentice prefers to work alone. He certainly doesn’t want help from Melanie Harris, a fearless podcaster with a nose for local stories and a knack for asking too many questions. But as evidence emerges, John and Melanie are pulled into a mystery that someone is still desperate to keep buried. 
    Buried Secrets is the first of the Strathavie Mysteries to feature this sharp, engaging duo in a gripping, Christian mystery that blends suspense with humour, friendship, and deeper insights on why God, and His Word, can be trusted—even when people can’t.
