Where Bones Sleep:
A Novella (Munro & Quinn Book 2)
Available in Kindle and Audiobook format
For Detective Jane Munro, two mysteries generations apart converge in a haunting true-crime-inspired novel about secrets, motherhood, and murder by Loreth Anne White, the award-winning author of The Maid’s Diary.
When a woman’s skeletal remains are found sealed inside a barrel at the bottom of a long-forgotten well, cold case detective Jane Munro is tasked with solving a murder committed decades ago.
Eight months pregnant, grieving her missing fiancé, and under mounting pressure to step away from the job, Jane should be preparing for motherhood, not chasing ghosts. But the dead woman wore a locket engraved with a message of love, and someone went to great lengths to silence her.
What Jane and her team uncover is a heart-wrenching story of a mother who walked into the forest on a frigid winter’s day in 1945 and was never seen again, leaving behind a husband and two children. But why? As they close in on the truth, the case collides with a far more recent one—and a killer who may not be history.
Suddenly it becomes personal, because someone will do anything to stop Jane. And this time, her quest for truth could cost her everything.

The Bone Takers:
A Novella (Munro & Quinn Book 3)
Available in Kindle and Audiobook format
Detective Jane Munro must investigate her own past in a riveting true crime–inspired novel Loreth Anne White, the award-winning author of The Maid’s Diary.
On a crisp June night, a powerful explosion rips through the chic Yaletown area of Vancouver, killing a top prosecutor. Before dawn, cold case detective Jane Munro—on an extended leave of absence—gets a call from a city detective asking for help identifying a partially- burned body found in another part of town.
Still reeling from complex grief surrounding the disappearance of her fiancé, Matt, Jane visits the morgue and makes a horrifying discovery. One that changes everything: The body may hold clues to what happened to the man she loves.
Jane’s ensuing off-the-books investigation plunges her into the darkest chapter of her life as the two seemingly disparate cases—the assassination of the prosecutor and her deeply personal hunt for her missing fiancé--converge with another long unsolved mystery: women have been disappearing along a highway that stretches from the US border to the Yukon for decades.
To uncover the truth, Jane will need to dig deeper than she ever imagined, and confront the possibility that those closest to her—even fellow cops—may be hiding the deadliest secrets of all.
