Big Lies in a Small Town pulls you into a richly atmospheric Southern setting, stretching across decades. You'll follow two women: Anna Dale, an artist in 1940 tasked with painting a post office mural in a sleepy North Carolina town, and Morgan Christopher, who in 2018 is given the chance to restore that very same mural. As Anna navigates a community thick with prejudice and unspoken truths, and Morgan painstakingly uncovers layers of paint, they both stumble upon a chilling mystery. This book is for readers who enjoy a slow-burn suspense, where the past constantly whispers to the present. It's a compelling unraveling of small-town secrets, showing how deeply history can embed itself, and what it takes to finally bring hidden truths to light.
