Synopsis "The Undertaker's Daughter: In a Village Already Mourning, One More Death Went Unnoticed"

In a village that has already buried too many of its own, one more death shouldn't have been noticeable at all. Frances Marsh spends her days preparing the dead for burial—closing their eyes, crossing their hands, making them presentable for the families left behind. She has done this work long enough to know exactly what a natural death looks like. So when her own sister dies of “the fever” with unsettling speed, and Frances notices a mark that doesn't belong on a body that simply gave out, she can't unsee it. And once she starts looking back through a year and a half of deaths in Marrowfen, she finds a pattern nobody else has thought to trace: four names, one beloved district nurse, and a village too grateful to ask questions. Nobody will believe her. Not her father. Not the village doctor. Not anyone. And least of all, the woman everyone calls a saint—who has spent two years making sure of that. With her husband newly home from the war and carrying scars of his own, Frances must decide how far she's willing to go to prove what she knows is true—in a community that has learned, over this last terrible year, exactly how to look away. The Undertaker's Daughter is a slow-burn gothic mystery about grief, complicity, and the particular danger of a killer who believes, completely, that what she's doing is mercy. For readers who want their horror quiet, their dread earned, and their villains entirely human.
