Old Wounds

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. Every secret has an origin. Every lie leaves a witness. When journalist Melissa Hargrove opens an anonymous email containing a cryptic link titled “The Nurse’s Office,” she thinks it’s another rumor tied to the decades-old death of Lauren Price — the promising student who fell from a boarding school rooftop under mysterious circumstances. But the file reveals something far worse: a forgotten video showing the moment Lauren’s story was rewritten by someone meant to protect her. As Melissa and her estranged daughter Ava dig into the hidden archives of the elite Silverpine Academy, they uncover decades of buried abuse, coerced silence, and carefully staged accidents disguised as “rites of passage.” Each file they open leads to another lie—and someone powerful is desperate to keep the rest sealed. When new evidence suggests Lauren wasn’t the only victim, Melissa’s investigation turns personal. The same institution that destroyed one girl’s voice is ready to destroy hers next. The deeper she looks, the clearer it becomes: the villains don’t live in shadows—they hold board seats, write policies, and shape futures. But some truths don’t stay buried. Not when someone is willing to risk everything to unearth them. Gripping, atmospheric, and unbearably human, The Nurse’s Office is a psychological thriller about truth, legacy, and the dangerous cost of telling the story no one wants heard. Perfect for fans of Gillian Flynn, Lisa Jewell, and Ruth Ware, it asks one haunting question: What if the most dangerous lies are the ones told in your name?
