Scraps of Paper — Kathryn Meyer Griffith

Abigail Sutton's beloved husband walks out one night and two years later is found dead. Starting a new life, Abigail moves to a small town and buys a fixer-upper house left empty when old Edna Summers died. At one time, it was home to Edna's younger sister, Emily, and two children, Jenny and Christopher. Emily and her children are rumored to have driven away one night...thirty years ago.

But in renovating her house, Abigail finds scraps of paper hidden behind baseboards and tucked beneath the porch that hint they were victims of foul play.

Then she finds their graves hidden in the woods behind the house. With the help of eccentric townspeople and ex-homicide detective, Frank Lester, she discovers the three were murdered. She and Frank not only uncover who killed them and why...but in the process awaken the ire of the murderer.
