Mystery Historical | Thriller
Successful young writer Marjorie McClelland leads a
solitary, comfortable life in the quiet, post-prohibition
town of Ridgebury, CT. Her tranquil life is disrupted when
Creighton Ashcroft, a British heir with time and money to
burn, purchases a deserted mansion with a mysterious
history on the outskirts of town. Instantly smitten with
the talented and beautiful Marjorie, Creighton craftily
arranges an intimate meeting, but the mood is spoiled when
they stumble across a body while touring the ample grounds
of Creighton's new estate. With the intention of reaping the story's literary
benefits, the two forge an unlikely partnership and
research the mansion's sordid past, but they soon find
themselves in the middle of an unfolding series of hidden
murders and family deceit. On top of this, the handsome
detective assigned to the case has caught Marjorie's
attention--and Creighton's suspicious eye. The trio must
work together to break through a web of deceptively demure
townspeople and the discreet upper class to solve the
mystery of the mansion's past before becoming victims
themselves. Filled with rumor and humor, this historical
thriller delights to its captivating close.
