Beyond the Perfect Facade

Beyond the Perfect Facade: Twenty Tales of Buried Guilt invites readers into a world where appearances are never what they seem. Behind every smile lies a secret, behind every truth, a carefully constructed lie.

In this collection of modern psychological mysteries, Carmen Galloway unearths the hidden tensions that live beneath everyday life—where guilt takes root, choices echo through time, and the smallest moments can unravel everything.

From elegant suburbs to forgotten towns, these twenty tales explore the cost of silence, the fragility of perception, and the quiet chaos that brews behind closed doors. With the sharp insight of a modern-day Agatha Christie and the emotional depth of literary suspense, Galloway crafts stories that linger long after the final page—reminding us that even the most perfect lives are built on fragile truths.

Each story stands alone yet whispers to the next, forming a haunting mosaic of humanity’s deepest contradictions: love and betrayal, guilt and redemption, appearance and reality. Because beneath the perfect facade, no one is truly innocent.
