About this listen

A mother's lies. A son's search. A past that won't stay buried.

A year after his mother’s death, Aaron Callahan receives her Book of Life: a handwritten memoir filled with secrets she never spoke aloud. At first, it feels like a final goodbye. But soon the pages unravel into something darker: confessions of a crime she witnessed, and the powerful men who concealed it.

As Aaron follows the trail, his search turns dangerous. The closer he gets to the truth, the more blurred the line between memory and reality becomes. And someone is determined to silence him before he exposes what his mother left behind.

Book of Life: Marlena is a gripping psychological thriller about the weight of generational trauma, the fragility of memory, and the cost of uncovering long-buried truths. Perfect for fans of Everything I Never Told You and Sharp Objects.

Second edition published as A House Full of Secrets: A Gripping Psychological Suspense About Family Secrets and Dangerous Truths.
