A town full of ghosts. A fire that never went out. And one girl who refuses to let the past stay buried.
When journalist Tallulah "Tally" Bennett returns to Glenbrook, West Virginia, she isn't just coming home—she's chasing a mystery that has haunted the town for a decade. The fire at the historic Hotel Glenbrook was ruled an accident, but something about the case never sat right with her. Tasked with covering the case by her boss at the newspaper, Tally sets out to find the truth with, Smoke Signals, her new true crime podcast.
But Glenbrook is a town built on secrets, and the deeper Tally digs, the more dangerous her investigation becomes. Old wounds resurface. Long-buried lies begin to unravel. And at the center of it all is a truth far more sinister than she ever imagined.
As she gets closer to answers, Tally realizes that some stories come at a cost. And in Glenbrook, the flames of the past just keep burning.
This debut reads as that of a seasoned writer! The perfect amount of foreshadowing, great dialogue, and a great redemption arc! you won't guess the twist 😜
Brooke Brown, Cheryl B told me about this book and your mom, and that led me here. It sounds really good! I'm a writer too (and a high school teacher), but haven't finished my book yet. I look forward to reading this and maybe even hearing about your journey as a writer!
I absolutely lovedddd this book! If you only read one book this year, let it be this one. This is one of the best books I have EVER read. I cannot wait to read more from this author!
