My Bones Would Rest (Jane Madden #4)

In 1929, a young girl leaves Yorkshire and travels alone to forge a new life on the other side of the world. Talented and popular, she finds romance and happiness in a vibrant Sydney, despite personal tragedy and the backdrop of the Great Depression.
She sails home with her infant child before the world is engulfed in the conflict of WW2, vowing to return to her young Australian husband. That promise is broken, but why? Did she ever really mean it to be kept?
Nearly a century later, her grandson finds a collection of the letters she wrote to her mother on almost a daily basis. Will they provide the answers or have they been censored to hide the truth?
And the young daughter she brought with her, why does someone claim she died while still only a child?

Jane Madden returns in the fourth novel in the series.

Her life upended by the COVID pandemic, she has a new home and a new job but finds herself back researching another family tree. What starts as a favour to a friend becomes increasingly personal as she seeks the motivations of a long-dead woman.
And all the while, Jane's father and his legacy are coming back to haunt her from beyond the grave. Tired, troubled and seemingly alone, she makes a decision that proves fatal.
