Second Edition Death (Secrets of the Castleton Manor Library Book 6)
By Elizabeth Penney
Faith Newberry finds herself tangled in a web of dark pasts and frightful phenomena when she visits an unnerving Cape Cod mansion.
Castleton Manor librarian and archivist Faith Newberry envisions a little downtime while the manor is closed to guests for spring cleaning, but her reverie is cut short when she is pressed into service for the organizers of the Gothic Studies Conference, who are meeting in Wintersea, a creepy nearby mansion. Gothic scholar Ava Winterbourne is experiencing eerie phenomena: lost objects, somnambulism, and a constant feeling of being watched. Is she mad? Or is someone mad at her?
Ava’s husband, Winslow, seems loving and attentive, yet Ava lives in the deep shadows of his first wife, Regina, who killed herself. Faith gets caught up in Ava’s delusions, but she can’t help wondering if Ava truly is a dreaming damsel in distress — or if she’s a dangerous dame. Solving the mysteries of Wintersea will take all of Faith’s sleuthing skills. Can she reveal the secrets before the veil descends on another victim?
This clever whodunit from Annie’s Secrets of the Castleton Manor Library series is a must-read for fans of cozy mysteries, reading, pets, and female friendships.
