A forgotten mill. A letter written in a vanished hand. A silence that remembers more than it should.When Maisie Quill receives a letter sealed in ink older than her memories, it draws her to Constance Mill - a shuttered relic on the edge of Ivy Hollow, abandoned to dust and rumor. Within its boarded windows and hollow floors, echoes gather like breath, and each one seems to whisper her name. Maisie came searching for a fragment of her mother's past, yet finds herself uncovering the faint outline of a story that was carefully erased.Ledgers left unsigned. Portraits painted over. A history pressed flat beneath the weight of forgetting. As Maisie follows the trail left by Eliza Quinn's fragments, she begins to sense the pulse of something unfinished - a promise half-kept and a truth that refuses to stay buried. Each discovery binds her more tightly to the life she never knew she was living.But some stories hide themselves not out of fear, but mercy. And as the river beneath the mill carries its quiet current toward the sea, Maisie must decide what to preserve, what to release, and what parts of the past were never meant to be found at all.Ink Beneath the Floorboards is the second Maisie Quill Mystery by J. D. Penrose - a quiet unraveling of legacy, loss, and the stories hidden between the lines we inherit.
