Synopsis

For twelve years, librarian Lilly Cooper has been Weyport's keeper of secrets, collecting whispered confessions like others collect books. But when she discovers a mysterious diary among donated volumes, she finds herself holding a secret that could shatter her coastal town's carefully maintained facade.

The diary belongs to a dead woman. The words inside point to corruption reaching from Weyport's quiet streets to Boston's highest offices.

And someone is willing to kill to keep those words buried.

As bodies surface and witnesses disappear, Sheriff Angus Reid knows this is more than a small-town mystery. With help from his team—including a determined forensic expert and a deputy who never misses—he must unravel a conspiracy that threatens everything he's sworn to protect.

But for Lilly, the danger runs deeper than physical threats. Each revelation forces her to question everything she believes about belonging, truth, and redemption. In a town built on buried secrets, she must decide: continue collecting whispers, or finally start speaking truth.

Like a vine breaking through concrete, truth finds a way. But some vines have thorns, and not everyone survives when light pierces darkness.

Chapter One Look Inside

Prologue

The bodies were just the beginning, according to the leather-bound diary that lay among the donated books like a coiled serpent. Its unmarked cover gathered dust like buried sins as Lillian Cooper's fingers trembled, lifting it from the box. Something in its weight spoke of secrets too heavy for paper alone.

The library's fluorescent lights cast harsh shadows across her desk as the autumn evening pressed against the windows, turning their reflection into mirrors that showed a woman she barely recognized anymore—gray-streaked hair pulled into a careful bun, silver leaf brooch gleaming at her collar, gold-rimmed glasses catching the artificial glare.

For twelve years, she'd been Weyport's keeper of whispered things. The librarian who knew everyone's stories, who collected confessions like others collected stamps. Each secret carefully cataloged and preserved, currency in a lonely economy of belonging. But this diary... this was different. Its pages carried the scent of desperate truth, of things meant to stay buried.

The note tucked within its pages stopped her breath:

They're watching. If you're reading this, they're probably watching you too. The evidence is hidden where they won't think to look—scattered among everyday things, waiting for someone who knows how to read between lines. Someone who understands the power of secrets.

I don't have much time. What I've uncovered goes deeper than anyone suspects. The environmental studies were just the beginning. The bodies...

The handwriting changed there, growing jagged with urgency. Lilly's heart thundered against her ribs as she recognized the name scrawled in the margin: Holbrook Industries.

The name carried weight in Weyport—their local lumber mill and development projects making them one of the region's most powerful employers, their influence casting long shadows from Boston down the New England coast like dark spires against a troubled sky. They'd brought prosperity, or so everyone said. But Lilly had noticed how the fishing boats returned half-empty these days, how the tide carried strange odors at dawn, how people who asked too many questions seemed to drift away like morning fog.

A floorboard creaked in the library's depths.

Lilly's head snapped up, years of watching others suddenly reversed. The empty aisles stretched into shadow, books standing silent witness as footsteps echoed against polished hardwood. Not the familiar tread of a late patron or fellow staff member—these steps moved with purpose, with the careful precision of someone who didn't want to be heard.

Her fingers tightened on the diary. In all her years of collecting others' secrets, she'd never felt the weight of discovery, the cold certainty of being watched. The silver leaf brooch at her collar seemed to burn against her skin, a reminder of all the times she'd traded in whispered confidences, treating truth like a commodity to be bartered.

The footsteps drew closer. Somewhere in the stacks, a book shifted, then fell. The sound echoed like judgment through the empty library.

Lilly moved quietly, sliding the diary into her bag as training and instinct warred within her. For years she'd hoarded information, treating other people's pain as currency. Now she held something different—truth that demanded action, secrets that carried the weight of life and death.

The corner security mirror showed a shadow moving between the shelves, tall and deliberate. Male. Professional. Someone who knew how to hunt.

If you're reading this, they're watching.

The words of warning lingered. Her fingers brushed the silver leaf brooch at her collar, a nervous habit born of years of social uncertainty. She'd spent her life collecting secrets to fill the void left by abandonment, by the mother who'd left her at St. Michael's, by the families who'd passed her by, by the man who'd left her standing alone at the altar. Each whispered confession had been another brick in her wall against pain.

But this secret... this one would either save her or destroy her.

The figure emerged from between the stacks, streetlight catching the metal in his hand.

Lilly Cooper, keeper of Weyport's secrets, stood at the crossroads of everything she'd been and everything she might become. The diary's weight pressed against her side like truth demanding to be spoken.

The time for collecting whispers was over.

The time for running was about to begin.

A Tale of Two Brothers

Sheriff Angus Reid's brother died eighteen years ago, or did he? A recent falsified document has come to Angus's attention making him wonder if Logan might still be alive. As Angus desperately searches for the truth, he faces many obstacles--a complicated maze of paperwork, red tape, threats, and people deliberately trying to impede his search. There is plenty of action in the book, although the main struggle is inside of the sheriff's head. He must wrestle with doubt, obedience to the law, faith, mercy, grace, and what righteousness really means. A quote about Angus: "He needed truth the way other men needed air."
An adorable collie named Scout provides Angus with his only comfort because he is pushing away his friends and reluctant to pray to God about it. The search for Logan might cost Angus dearly as he faces sacrifice.

Looking forward to listening to the rest of the series

I really enjoyed this book. The story was interesting and captured my attention from the very beginning. The characters were relatable, and the writing was very good. Ms Teixeira clearly has a real talent for storytelling.

I was a little worried about the AI narration beforehand, but it turned out not to be a problem at all. I found it easy to listen to and didn’t feel that it took away from the story.

I’m definitely looking forward to listening to the rest of the Angus Reid series!

Hungry for more

First;" Little Boy Lost" had me in tears, and needed to finish it as soon as possible. The ending was unbelievable. This story was so well put together I was there and feeling every emotion . You have to read it. This book also is what caught my attention to wanting to know more of this amazing detective. I have enjoyed every one of these books and still they make me want more. I really love how you bring God into everyday instances. The combination of mystery, everyday life, faith and answered prayer are incredible.

Another great read - you can’t read it quickly or skip words or you will miss something! Every word counts!!! I am a “speed reader” and I had to go back and slow down!!! Took some unexpected twists and turns and held you till the end!

Excellent!

One of the things I love about Urcelia Teixeira's books is that they stay with you long after you close the back cover. David's Debt is definitely no exception! While the plot will keep you turning pages long into the night, if you don't ponder the phrase, "and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors," then you have missed the message of the book. I might not ever recite the Lord's Prayer again without properly considering what this phrase means.

Amazing Read

Urcelia does it again! A suspenseful who done it with all the twists and turns, can’t put it
down that we have come to expect. This one however, hits you differently and challenges you to look inward at what you would do in the characters place. A book about love, redemption, and forgiveness. It made me contemplate, like Angus, forgive me of my debts as I forgive my debtors. A lot of soul searching. An amazing read!

Urcelia 5+ 🌟
This book really is the one, I have enjoyed the most.
Its been hard to get my head out of thinking about the book.
A highly recommended from me.

I have been supplied with an arc of this book. It has been left to my choice to write a review.

He found me.

You cannot ask forgiveness for something you will not name. You want to pray, but that means you will have to deal with that unsaid thing.

A stranger in town, seemingly loitering, but is he? Once again the author slowly reels the reader in, making it harder and harder to figure out who the questionable character is. An anonymous 911 call, a missing person, a notebook that seems to make no sense and more leave Sheriff Angus and his deputy, Miguel searching for answers. Nothing seems to add up until
someone finally comes forward with the truth. Will the debt ever get paid?

A copy was received through Purpose Bound Press and BookFunnel. These impressions are my own and were in no way solicited.

WOW!!!

From the very first page Urcelia held my interest. She has a way with words. Constant action which makes the mystery more profound.

Russell Calder wants to extort money from Murphy Delaney and it all goes wrong

Sheriff Reid is caught in a dilemma while working this latest case. Things just aren’t adding up and he must face things he does not want to because it is looking like Murphy Delaney his love interest is involved.

There are so many layers with twists and turns as this story unfolds that it keeps you turning pages as you try to keep up with all that is happening.

This story is very well written and keeps you in suspense as to who did what to whom, and little by little you are lead down the path that Angus must follow to find the guilty person.

This series just gets better with each book.

I think you will really enjoy this book, I know I did!!

Angus Reid Mystery 9

Angus and the gang from Weyport are back in book 9 and what a page turner.

What starts out as a slow burn to reel (suck) you in, by the time you get a few chapters in, you realise you don't want to (or can't) put the book down.

Each chapter keeps feeding you little tidbits, keeping you invested, mesmerised and wanting more (a need to know now).

I was not expecting some of the curveballs Angus has to deal with and there were a few spots that had me guessing what was going to happen next, which is what I love about this series. Everything is kept secret until the last possible moment and then boom 💥 (gotcha)

I can't wait to read Angus's next mystery case as each new story is better than it's predecessor.

Logan's Way

This was a compelling story that started in a previous book. I enjoyed it very much. (I've enjoyed all the books in this series.) However I disagree with Angus that Logan's way of operating was illegal. I did not read anything illegal in the way he resolved serious situations. So that bothered me a bit. But there may have been things done behind the scenes that we, the reader, were not privy to. Overall it was a very enjoyable read.

When Jonah, a young man, desperate to impressed his father ends up getting kidnapped things take a nasty, turn for our hero Sheriff Angus but I can't tell you what it is as I don't like to give spoilers.

So highly highly recommend this novel, I loved it and hope you do as well
