The Candlemaker

When Mara Winslow’s sister is found dead in a fire, no one in Crossvine, Texas, believes it was an accident. Everyone knows she was murdered. Then the visions begin in the flicker of candlelight. The candles come from Crossvine’s reclusive candlemaker, a man whose creations are said to show glimpses of the dead. Desperate for answers, Mara turns to Joe Hart, her ex and a private investigator who still knows how to break her heart. Their search leads them to Ash Hollow, a ghost town haunted by a deadly blaze thirty-six years ago.

The deeper they dig, the stronger the fire burns, not just in the candles but also between Joe and Mara. The candles whisper, revealing things Mara isn’t ready to see and secrets someone will kill to keep buried. As the dead reach for the living, Mara learns the haunting isn’t random—it’s a warning. The truth about her sister, the fire, and the town’s darkest sins can only be found in one place…in the hands of The Candlemaker.
