The Notice He Never Wrote: A Havenwood Mystery

About the book

Tessa Vorn knows when words do not belong. After twenty-six years in corporate communications, she can hear the difference between what someone means and what they actually put on the page. It is a skill she never expected to need while temporarily running The Havenwood Notes, a neighborhood publication she plans to hand off as soon as she can. Then a routine listing update arrives from a longtime local business. The message sounds wrong. When the business owner dies in what appears to be an accident, the update should stop mattering. Instead, Tessa finds herself returning to the wording, the timing, and the small details that refuse to fit. Old submissions. Neighborhood records. Business routines. People who remember more than they realize. And one question that will not go away: Who wrote the notice he never wrote? The Notice He Never Wrote is the first Havenwood Mystery, an intelligent, character-driven mystery about language, memory, community, and the details most people pass without noticing.
