Death at Melvin House - Paperback

by Maisie Graves (Author)

Balsam Bay's history is on display.

But some stories were never meant to be reopened.

Founders Week brings visitors and long-buried stories back to town. At the centre of the celebration stands the Heritage Museum-once the private home of Balsam Bay's founder, Sam Melvin.

When a disturbance in the founder's study is followed by the sudden death of a visiting historian, the mood in town shifts overnight.

Tilly Lafleur feels it immediately.

The past isn't resting quietly.

It's pushing back.

Now questions begin circling through town-about old loyalties, long-settled claims, and why certain pieces of Balsam Bay's history have always been left alone.

With her watchful dog Des at her side and her daughter Callie pursuing questions of her own, Tilly must decide how far she's willing to push for answers.

Because in Balsam Bay, history isn't just preserved.

It's protected.

Death at Melvin House is the fourth book in the Tilly Lafleur Mysteries-an atmospheric small-town mystery series set among the lakes and forests of the Canadian Shield, where tight-knit communities, quiet wilderness, and long memories make every secret harder to keep.
