Whispering Pines Mysteries (Halloway)

Book description Lana Carter returns to her small coastal hometown of Whitby after many years away, only because her mother has died and she must attend the funeral. She plans to stay for just a few days, settle everything quickly, and leave the town behind forever, because Whitby holds memories she would rather forget. However, only a day after she arrives, a young local girl named Mia Collins suddenly disappears. The police believe the girl simply ran away from home, and most people in the town accept that explanation and try to move on. Lana, however, cannot ignore the uneasy feeling growing inside her. The silence around the disappearance feels wrong, and the more she listens, the more she senses that something dark is being hidden. As Lana begins asking questions, she meets Daniel Reeves, a quiet and guarded man who seems to know more about Whitby than he first admits. Together they begin to uncover secrets buried deep inside the town. What starts as the search for one missing child slowly turns into something far more dangerous. They discover hidden lies, powerful people protecting those lies, and a criminal network that has been watching the town for years. Soon Lana realizes that finding the truth may put her own life at risk. Someone does not want the past uncovered, and they are willing to threaten, chase, and even kill to keep their secrets safe. No One Saw Her Leave is a gripping small-town mystery filled with emotional tension, dark secrets, and relentless suspense. It is the first book in the Whispering Pines Mysteries series, and it will keep listeners guessing until the very end. "The truth has a way of finding those who dare to look."
