In 1890, the bell tolls, signaling death at Traeger Hall. Waverly Pembrooke, her aunt and uncle's ward, is left alone and, with no alternative, is forced to execute the unusual terms of her paranoid uncle's will.
When Jennie Phillips inherits the long-abandoned property at Traeger Hall, she has no idea how much the past will intrude upon her life. But a modern cold case increases the mystery surrounding the estate, and Jennie's determination to move beyond her family's past puts her in harm's way.
Wow! Amazing! Oustanding! Loved everything about Wright's latest novel. Wish I could read it all over again. Wright weaves two women's stories together to create a suspenseful story filled with danger, family secrets, and unexpected twists and turns that keep you turning page after page.
When Leopold and Cornelia Traegar are murdered, they leave behind a will that Waverly Pembrooke has no choice but to abide by. It leaves her with more questions than answers. An awkward friendship with undertaker Titus Fitzgerald unsettles their ward, but with only one housemaid willing to return to the estate, what is Waverly to do? When an unexpected guest arrives to take charge, Waverly can't help but be suspicious of his motives. Waverly soon discovers her uncle and Traeger Hall hold many secrets.
In the present day, Jennie Phillips isn't quite sure how she will deal with unloading all the properties her father amassed before his death, and now that her mother is gone, she has no choice but to settle the estate. But her mother held a certain interest in Traeger Hall, and Jennie travels to the town of Newton Creek to see what she can find out. Though Leopold Traeger died long ago, Jennie discovers he and his abandoned estate have a legacy that continues to threaten the once thriving town.
Masterfully written, this Christian Gothic suspense novel with a hint of romance is just the right book to pick up if you want a captivating novel inspired by historical events.
