A Well Worn Path
by DC Rivera
When seventeen-year-old Trinity Dow dies by suicide just weeks after her engagement to her childhood sweetheart, she leaves behind a cryptic message written in her own blood: He nos Y. Her engagement ring and diary are missing, and in a small town built on lifelong friendships and carefully kept appearances, the truth seems just out of reach.
Desperate for answers, Trinity’s family hires seasoned private investigator Jacklyn “Jack” Bixby. As Jack begins to unravel the circumstances surrounding Trinity’s death, she discovers a quiet community layered with secrets. The men closest to Trinity—her fiancé Tristan, his special needs brother, her protective father, and her devoted performance partner—each hold fragments of a story that doesn’t quite align.
What first appears to be a tragic choice made in isolation soon reveals a deeper web of manipulation, betrayal, hidden illness, and fractured loyalties. When a key witness turns up dead, the investigation shifts from heartbreaking to dangerous, and Jack uncovers a calculated scheme that pushed Trinity toward despair. At the center lies a young woman overwhelmed by family secrets, romantic doubt, and a devastating medical diagnosis—believing her sacrifice would spare the people she loved.
A Well Worn Path is a tense, emotional coming-of-age crime mystery that explores grief, obsession, and the fragile line between protection and control. With layered characters and a haunting small-town atmosphere, DC Rivera delivers a story about the choices that define us—and the truths that refuse to stay buried.
Discover the secrets behind Trinity’s final message and follow Jack Bixby as she pieces together a mystery where love, loyalty, and betrayal collide.
