In the close-knit town of Maplewood, Cass's world shatters when she attends her beloved grandmother's funeral. Overwhelmed by grief, she clings to the memories of the fiercely independent woman who raised her-but something about the day feels off. Her Aunt Jane, the family's caretaker, seems preoccupied, and Cass can't shake the sense that more is happening beneath the surface.
Whispers and subtle inconsistencies hint that Grandma's death may not have been entirely natural, and Cass is drawn into a web of family secrets. Old friends, neighbors, and long-forgotten stories begin to reveal pieces of a hidden truth, and as she follows the trail, the picture becomes darker and more complicated than she ever imagined.
Amid the turmoil, Cass is unexpectedly drawn to a figure from her past-a connection long forgotten, whose presence stirs old emotions and complicates her quest for answers.
As she pieces together the mystery, Cass discovers hidden rooms, shocking revelations, and tangled loyalties that threaten to upend everything she thought she knew.
In Shadows of Deceit, family bonds are tested, secrets are uncovered, and Cass must navigate a world of uncertainty to honor her grandmother's legacy. And somewhere in the shadows, a long-buried love may yet offer a glimmer of hope in the darkness.
