The Undiscovered Deaths of Grace McGill: The must-read, incredible voice-driven mystery thriller

About this book

As Independent Scottish booksellers, we write all of our descriptions personally, we hope you enjoy this one.

Grace McGill works where other lives have ended. When people die alone and remain undiscovered, she is called in to clear the spaces they leave behind, the accumulated objects, the physical traces, the things no one was there to witness.

Most deaths appear ordinary. An old man lies unnoticed in his flat for months, his life reduced to what remains in the rooms he occupied. Yet Grace understands that no death is without meaning. Each one carries a history, whether acknowledged or not, and a weight that does not disappear with the body.

As she sorts through what has been left, Grace begins to sense that this death holds more than it first suggests. Listening closely to the quiet evidence of a life lived unseen, she is drawn towards a truth that refuses to stay buried.

This is literary crime fiction shaped by solitude and attention, and by the fragile stories that surface after the end.
