What the Parish Buried

The parish council's public incident log marks a fatal casualty confirmed at 8:40 p.m. Archivist Edwin Sayer's last voicemail to Nell Arden was recorded thirty-three minutes later. Nell returns to Wrencombe to identify her former mentor and finds his name cut from three records held under three different authorities. Then a living witness begins disappearing from files, photographs, and memory-and the same damage appears where Nell's vanished sister should have been. Beneath the archive lies a crime the parish has kept without naming for three centuries. To stop its record from claiming another life, Nell must prove who is choosing the forgotten, recover twenty-seven buried names, and make a town built on omission speak them aloud-before Wrencombe forgets her name as well. What the Parish Buried is a complete dark supernatural mystery blending small-town folk horror, cursed records, and a fair-play investigation. Book One of The Unquiet Parish Files; the central case is fully resolved.
