(Isstories Editorial):- Los Angeles, California Nov 6, 2025 (Issuewire.com) – With wit, emotional depth, and a touch of cold-case intrigue, Mic Lowther brings the Moorhouse Trilogy to a compelling conclusion in “What Mom & Dad Never Told Us.” In this final installment, siblings Caroline, David, and Juliana uncover secrets hidden within their family’s past–secrets that have lain dormant since their parents’ deaths decades earlier.
Their father, a brilliant but enigmatic financial wizard, leaves behind a manuscript of strange modern fairy tales. Their mother, long presumed to have died in a tragic car crash, may have had an entirely different life–complete with a secret job and unspoken fears. As the siblings examine the oddities tucked away in old journals and legal records, they find that nothing about their parents’ story is quite what it seemed.
Reviewer Mark Heisey of The US Review of Books praises Lowther’s craft, stating: “Lowther’s writing shows the clear signs of an author who has practiced his craft… [and] each of the books has multiple smaller narratives… appealing to a wider audience.” The review highlights how Lowther seamlessly blends intergenerational themes with cold-case suspense, evoking literary comparisons to Gabriel García Márquez and Mary Higgins Clark.
