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.

Desmond hasn’t left the house since Ella’s accident a year ago. He spends his days in conversation with Ella, hoping his roommate won’t discover his secret. But now, Ella has begun to ask questions about what really happened the night she died. Memories begin to surface, bringing dark truths Desmond isn’t ready to face.

And some truths are far worse than forgetting.

Praise

“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 and Too Old For This
“With Never to Be Told, 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

“Audrey Lee is back with Never to Be Told, a haunting, beautifully crafted story about the lies we tell to protect the people we love… and the damage those lies leave behind. 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. It’s about love warped by control, the ghosts that follow us home, and the unbearable moment when every secret finally surfaces. This book broke me in the best possible way.”
—Carter Wilson, USA Today bestselling author of Tell Me What You Did

“Captivating and suspenseful. Grief, long hidden secrets, and betrayal combine in an explosive conclusion. Edgar® nominee, Lee asks us what we’re willing to believe after the worst moments in our lives? Think The Big Chill meets The Sixth Sense.”
—James L’Etoile, award winning author of Illusion of Truth and the Detective Nathan Parker series

“Never to Be Told should be titled Never To Be Put Down. Audrey Lee has crafted a real page-turner. A bold, absorbing, daring love story bolstered by mystery, thrills, drama … and paranormal forces that we all wish would visit us. I loved this book!”
—Jon Lindstrom, 4-time Emmy award nominee and USA Today bestselling author of Hollywood Hustle
