These Shallow Graves

Jo Montfort is beautiful and rich, and soonâlike all the girls in her classâsheâll graduate from finishing school and be married off to a wealthy bachelor. Which is the last thing she wants. Jo secretly dreams of becoming a writerâa newspaper reporter like the trailblazing Nellie Bly.
Wild aspirations aside, Joâs life seems perfect until tragedy strikes: her father is found dead. Charles Montfort accidentally shot himself while cleaning his revolver. One of New York Cityâs wealthiest men, he owned a newspaper and was partner in a massive shipping firm, and Jo knows he was far too smart to clean a loaded gun.
The more Jo uncovers about her fatherâs death, the more her suspicions grow. There are too many secrets. And they all seem to be buried in plain sight. Then she meets Eddieâa young, brash, infuriatingly handsome reporter at her fatherâs newspaperâand it becomes all too clear how much she stands to lose if she keeps searching for the truth. Only now it might be too late to stop.
The past never stays buried forever. Life is dirtier than Jo Montfort could ever have imagined, and the truth is the dirtiest part of all.
