The Forgotten Tomb

- An Outsiders Mystery

Bag om The Forgotten Tomb

Seventy-nine-year-old Fabienne Laurent's biggest fear is that her family will notice her memory problems are getting worse. If they do, she's sure they'll send her to live in a nursing home, away from everyone and everything she loves. That's what she and her husband did when her own mother's dementia caused them too much grief. Not taking care of her mother the way a daughter should is one of her biggest regrets, but she can't undo the past. At best, she can keep her own family from making the same mistake, at least until they have no choice. With that decision made, she'll have to cover up her illness as long as possible. Maybe that won't be a problem. They haven't noticed, so far . . . . But, she soon discovers it might not be as easy as she'd hoped. While helping her daughter and son-in-law renovate their new hotel in the small French village of Reynier, she finds mysterious journals that lead them to the unearthing of an old tomb deep inside the town's caves-and also to the remains of a woman who was murdered twenty years ago. That discovery turns her world upside down, because Fabienne not only knew the victim, but also had a motive to kill her. She must find a way to recover lost memories and convince herself and everyone else that she didn't do it. The Forgotten Tomb is a story about family bonds, aging, regrets, trust, and forgiveness.
