![]() ![]() Even Netherton, the nearest village, seems odd: the picturesque houses and perfect-looking families are haunted by dark secrets connected to Morton Abbey itself. ![]() An intruder tries to enter her bedroom at night, gunshots are fired outside her window, and an eerie crying echoes from the uninhabited second floor. Once at Morton, Vaughan discovers that someone is determined to drive her away. But few people in late-Victorian England will entrust their legal affairs to a woman, and Vaughan is desperate to prove herself. Solicitor Vaughan Springthorpe knows perfectly well that Sir Peter Spencer’s offer of employment seems too good to be true: he hires her sight unseen, offering a suspiciously large salary to prepare the sale of Morton Abbey, his crumbling Yorkshire estate. A resourceful heroine, a gloomy manor, and a dark secret to uncover-who could ask for anything more? The Curse of Morton Abbey is a terrific gothic romp of a novel!” – KATE QUINN, New York Times bestselling author of The Rose Code ![]()
