What Was Kept (Inconveniently Haunted) by Harlo Malone

Description

Thirty-two years ago, Margaret Sutherland was murdered for what she knew. Her daughter never had the chance to ask her why.

Dani Wallace has spent her life without knowing the truth about her birth mother. Then she unexpectedly inherits a house she didn’t even know existed, with only thirty days to claim it before the county takes it back. What she doesn’t expect to find at 14 Corbie Alley is a ghost, a hidden history, and secrets that have been waiting decades to surface.

The house has been keeping its secrets since the night Margaret died. Even the man who died alongside her isn’t ready to stop protecting the daughter he only had the chance to hold for two weeks.

With her wife, Bex, and the rest of her chosen family at her side, Dani begins following the trail Margaret left behind. A warded research file, a murderer with old money and even older secrets, and a ticking deadline all point toward a truth someone is desperate to keep buried.

As Dani gets closer to discovering what happened to her mother, the danger becomes increasingly personal. Someone doesn’t simply want the past to remain hidden. They’re willing to kill again to make sure Dani never uncovers it.

What Was Kept is an emotionally charged paranormal mystery about ghosts, murder, family secrets, queer love, and the families we build for ourselves. It is the conclusion to the Inconveniently Haunted trilogy, bringing Dani’s search for the mother she never knew to a haunting and hard-won reckoning.
