Book One of The Thornhaven Mysteries
When a bone fragment surfaces on a Tasmanian development site, forensic anthropologist Dr. Tess Ashburn touches it and hears something no scan, file, or twenty years of training can explain: a scream, sharp and utterly real, sealed inside evidence that should be silent. The trail pulls her deep into the convict records of the old Thornhaven probation station, toward a killing erased from every official page, committed by a name she recognises far too well. As the past claws its way free of the ground that buried it, Tess has one chance to give the dead their voice back, even if it costs her everything she believed about her own blood.

Book Two of The Thornhaven Mysteries
When an Irish heritage researcher arrives in Thornhaven carrying a rosary that belonged to a convict flogged to death for a crime he never committed, Dr. Tess Ashburn closes her hand around the beads and feels something the dead have never given her before: intent. The trail leads her to a hidden confession, sealed away two centuries ago by a dying man who trusted someone, someday, would find it, and into the reach of an institution still protecting the silence that killed him. As Tess races to finish what he could not, a second sighting of the watching figure at the edge of her vision makes her wonder whose faith is truly being tested, and whether some vigils were never meant to end.

Book Three of The Thornhaven Mysteries
A widow arrives in Thornhaven with a DNA result that has unravelled everything she thought she knew about her family, and Dr. Tess Ashburn takes up a case with no killer to catch and no crime the law ever named: a mother's child, taken and declared dead while she still breathed. As the pull toward a stolen son leads straight into the roots of the family closest to her own heart, Tess must decide how much truth a living family can survive, and what she owes a woman who has been reaching south across two centuries for a name no record ever gave back.

Book Four of The Thornhaven Mysteries
When a storm tears the wreck of a doomed escape free of the bay after close to two hundred years, Dr. Tess Ashburn lays a hand on a fragment of hull and feels the lie inside it: six convicts did not simply drown chasing freedom, they were sent into water no one meant them to survive. The man who built their boat, the one they trusted to get them out, made certain from the start that they never would, and the proof has waited two centuries for someone willing to find it. This time, Tess will not just listen to the dead. She will make someone answer for them.

Book Five of The Thornhaven Mysteries
A young lieutenant hid the truth in a wall because he knew exactly what would happen to him if it were found, and he was right. The moment a survey crew finally breaks it free, nearly two hundred years later, someone in Thornhaven steals it back before Dr. Tess Ashburn can read past the first page. What she does glimpse ties directly to a name she has been tracking through four cases, a name that still holds land, money, and influence in Thornhaven today. Someone has spent generations making sure this record was never read twice. Tess is about to become the reason it finally is.

Book Seven of The Thornhaven Mysteries
When a condemned boat shed on the old station grounds turns up a record cut by hand into its oldest beam, Dr. Tess Ashburn finally has what six years of half-glimpses never gave her: a way to learn who the watcher truly is, and why he has never let her go. What she finds is not the blameless man she hoped for, but something far harder to carry, a guilt that reaches back through her own family's blood and asks her to fight for the one man she never expected to defend. With the shed marked for demolition and the truth finally within reach, Tess must decide what she owes a man who was both victim and weapon, before Thornhaven takes its last secret down with it.
