The Secret of Eliza’s Journal
By Taylor Hunter Kimball

I never expected to find a murder buried in my own family’s past.

Ephraim, Utah, was supposed to be my fresh start—a quiet town where I could teach criminal justice at Snow College, restore forgotten pioneer graves, and leave behind the chaos of big-city crime. But the day I uncovered my ancestor’s hidden journal, everything changed.

Eliza Kimball’s words weren’t just faded ink on fragile pages—they were a confession. A warning. A key to a mystery that refused to stay buried. As I pored over her 19th-century entries, I discovered a secret feud, a cryptic message about justice and mercy, and a chilling connection to a modern-day murder. When a descendant of one of the families Eliza wrote about turns up dead in eerily similar circumstances, I realize history isn’t just whispering—it’s demanding to be heard.

Someone in town doesn’t want the truth uncovered. My questions stir up long-held grudges, cryptic threats appear, and the past begins closing in around me. With Sheriff Mark Jensen—skeptical but solid—at my side, I must unravel a century-old mystery before another body drops.

The deeper I dig, the more dangerous the truth becomes. Because some secrets weren’t meant to be unearthed.

And some legacies demand a price.

Great Story

The story was great but virtual narration lacked the touch to take a great story to a comforting personal listen.

COULD have been a great story had there been any editing done.

There were several scenes that were repeated and phrases that were used over and over. I get trying to build the suspense, but not giving any of the story away just made it all confusing. Needs SERIOUS amounts of editing.
