The Curse of Morton Abbeyby Clarissa HarwoodDesperate for employment, solicitor Miss Vaughan Springthorpe accepts a suspiciously lucrative offer to prepare the sale of a crumbling Yorkshire estate. Once there, she is beset by obstacles and mysteries: an intruder tries to enter her bedroom at night, gunshots go off outside her window, and an eerie crying echoes from the uninhabited second floor. To complete her work and solve the mystery at the heart of Morton, Vaughan needs the help of Joe Dixon, the handsome gardener, and Nicholas Spencer, her absent employer’s irascible invalid brother. But with her questions diverted, her progress thwarted, and her sleep disrupted by the crying, Vaughan can’t be certain she will escape Morton Abbey with her sanity intact or be cursed by its dark secrets. A gothic mystery set in 1890s England. $1.99 Previously $4.99 |
