Anatomy of Connection
The Serene Mysteries · Book One
by G.A. Bellingham
In a village where silence has lasted decades, truth arrives quietly—and kills.
When a woman is found dead in the Welsh village of Bryngwyn, Detective Serene Pryce notices what others overlook: the way people rearrange memories, the way accidents repeat, the way fear hides behind kindness.
As buried records surface and a second death follows, Serene uncovers a history shaped not by malice, but by people convinced they were doing the right thing. Each answer reveals another fracture—between loyalty and guilt, protection and control, truth and survival.
But Bryngwyn is not finished with Serene Pryce.
Someone is watching her work.
Someone is leaving notes.
And someone believes she has missed the part that matters most.
Anatomy of Connection is a quiet, atmospheric mystery about complicity, belonging, and the dangerous comfort of stories left unchallenged.
Perfect for readers who love:
Intelligent, character-driven mysteries
Subtle psychological tension
Small villages with long memories
Neurodivergent protagonists
Slow-burn revelations rather than shock twists

Emma Dolan is an Australian author, archaeologist and storyteller who writes at the crossroads of history, imagination, and the natural world. Her background in archaeology shapes her fascination with how landscapes hold memory and how human choices leave traces through time. Through her fiction —from lyrical eco-adventures for children to literary mysteries written as G.A. Bellingham —she explores the quiet connections between people, place, and belonging. An advocate for neurodiversity and environmental awareness, Emma writes from an autistic perspective that values detail, curiosity, and compassion. When she isn't writing, she can be found sketching animals, exploring heritage sites, or mapping stories that link the past and future in unexpected ways.
