Lantern Street Lost and Found
A Cozy Mystery

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.
Odette Winslow knows every regular and every unclaimed umbrella in Penhallow Crossing by tag number. For twenty years she has kept the Lost and Found office in the old railway station, where nothing is ever thrown away and every lost thing is promised a long wait.

Then a soft-spoken stranger sets half of a torn stub on her counter. It belongs to a battered leather satchel that has sat on shelf nine since the night the last train left town, the night the beloved choir director vanished with the choir's savings. Odette honors the oldest rule in the book: the stub is the claim. By nightfall the stranger has disappeared into the rain, and by dawn the satchel is back on her doorstep with its lining slit open.

With a teenage baker who does uncanny impressions, a retired conductor who tells time by the minute, a stern stationmaster who will not discuss the cellar, and an eleven-year-old boy who loses his mittens on purpose, Odette follows the ledger, the old timetable and the town's gossip back to the winter the line closed. The clues are all there, written in her own tidy hand, in plain sight on the page. Someone in this friendly town has been counting on nobody reading them.

A warm, funny, fair-play mystery about found families, second chances and the people who keep looking for us, with gentle stakes and a heroine who learns that she, too, can be claimed.

A cozy small-town mystery.
