NEVER TO BE TOLD

MAY 19, 2026

from CamCat Books

Some secrets won’t rest in peace.

Desmond Harper is haunted. He was abandoned by his mother as a teenager. His once-promising writing career has stagnated. His relationship with his son, Jude, continues to fracture. But nothing haunts Desmond more than the inability to remember his engagement party, a night which ended in the death of his fiancée, Ella.

Nothing, except perhaps Ella’s ghost…

“A compelling mystery that blends complex relationships and a hint of the supernatural. With elegant, simple prose and plenty of drama, Audrey Lee’s Never to be Told is storytelling at its finest.”
—Samantha Downing, international bestselling author of My Lovely Wife

“Lee writes with surgical precision and enormous heart, pulling you deep into the ache of grief, guilt, and the desperate need to know the truth. Never to Be Told isn’t just a thriller; it’s a reckoning.”
—Carter Wilson, USA Today bestselling author of Tell Me What You Did

“Audrey Lee proves to be a master of the modern, serious-minded ghost story. Lee delivers a novel that, like The Lovely Bones, refuses to fade once read and reminds us that what remains hidden can haunt us as fiercely as any ghost.”
—John Copenhaver, award-winning author of Hall of Mirrors
