Coram House is a 2025 book by Bailey Seybolt. Have you been searching for an all new book to add to your must read list? This might be the novel for you. Whether taking it on a solo read or sharing it with your local book club, this book is intense and engaging from start to finish in a story that New York Times bestselling author Flynn Berry describes as being ‘atmospheric and chilling’.

This novel is based on an actual real story that happened in real life, all about a crime writer who ends up putting everything on the line when she looks into a mystery that is decades old regarding an orphanage.

It was a hot summer day in 1968 when a young child went missing without a trace. Tommy was nine years old at the time and he disappears from Coram House, an orphanage located on Lake Champlain’s shores. It’s now been fifty years and Alex Kelley has the chance to look into his disappearance as well as the history of the orphanage. She’s a crime writer who has been struggling in her work, and she feels that this opportunity just might be the break that she needs.

There were all sorts of rumors that attempted to explain where Tommy had gone or what had happened to him. Some people swear by the story that it was a nun who drowned him in the lake. Other people feel that nothing bad happened to Tommy and believe that he ran away. There are still other theories that say that he may have never existed. The only thing that people know for sure is that fifty years have gone by and still his missing persons case has never been explained or solved.

Alex needs a fresh start more than ever, and this unsolved case could be the thing to do it. She gets asked to be a ghostwriter on a book about the orphanage and what went down there and knows that she needs to follow up. The crime writer packs up what she needs and temporarily relocates to Burlington, Vermont.

There she’s going to do some research, and it doesn’t take too long after she arrives for Alex to become increasingly fixated with the case of Tommy’s disappearance. Her investigation takes a strange turn when a woman’s body is discovered in the lake– another mysterious death to tackle. She believes that this new death may somehow have connections to the dark past of Coram House. She may be the only one, however, since Officer Russell Parker seems to think that she’s just another writer desperate to uncover a story.

Despite this, Alex sticks to her guns. She is convinced that the new death is not just a coincidence. But now the body count is officially going up, and it appears that everyone has to be on high alert for a killer out there. If Alex can locate this killer, she can do her part to bring about justice and make sure that a dangerous person is taken off the streets for good.

The crime writer is convinced that the answer to finding the killer is by unraveling the secrets and facts of a murder that is decades old. Now she just has to track down the evidence to back it up so that she can show others and they will believe her. She has all the motivation in the world to track down this killer as well, because if she can’t find them and have them locked up, she may very well end up becoming their next victim.

The number of victims is only going up and Alex knows that she is running out of time. Can she find the person responsible for Tommy’s murder and find the person responsible for this new death, or will she find that she is well out of her depth and in over her head?

One thing is for certain, and that is the fact that this crime writer is going to have to really buckle down if she wants to find a killer. Find out by getting your hands on the fascinating suspenseful thriller Coram House by Bailey Seybolt to see how this story ends!
