Bones Beneath the Orchard, The

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. Some secrets refuse to stay buried. When renowned botanist Isla Whitmore returns to her family’s long-abandoned orchard in rural Maine, she plans a quick sale and a final goodbye to the grief-stricken land where her sister vanished thirty years ago. But the orchard has other plans. A bone-white skull tangled in the roots of an ancient apple tree. A locket long thought lost, glinting with the whispers of a shattered past. And a house that still breathes the echoes of unspeakable memories. As Isla begins to unravel the mystery behind her sister Ivy’s disappearance, she finds herself entangled in a web of family secrets, forgotten journals, and a caretaker who may know far more than he lets on. The deeper she digs, the more the orchard seems to awaken—its twisted trees reaching for her like the past reclaiming what was once buried. In this haunting and lyrical Gothic mystery, The Bones Beneath the Orchard explores the quiet terror of repressed memory, the corrosive power of grief, and the unrelenting pull of home. Perfect for fans of Where the Crawdads Sing, The Thirteenth Tale, and Sharp Objects, this is a story that asks: Can the truth set you free... or will it destroy you first?
