A Dark Inheritance
By Mary Williams
After Adelaide’s beloved husband David dies tragically in the Crimean war, she becomes determined to start her new life at Trenhawk – David’s ancestral home on the storm-tossed Cornish moors.
But upon her arrival, Adelaide is reunited with her cousin Rupert – David’s stern, pensive elder brother who is insistent on reminding Adelaide that she is merely a guest of the house and musn’t get too comfortable.
The plethora of secrets to unravel at Trenhawk serve as a welcome distraction for the curious and inquisitive Adelaide.
Where are the strange noises in the middle of the night coming from?
Who is the little boy she is certain she sees running about the house?
How does the door to the Tower Room seem to lock and unlock itself?
And why do Rupert and the staff avoid her questions?
