Publisher's Synopsis
AN ABANDONED ENGLISH COTTAGE... A BLACK CAT GLIMPSED IN SCORES OF OLD PHOTOS... A TERRIBLE MURDER, COVERED UP MANY YEARS AGO.
When Parker and her mother move into Styre House, they immediately notice that something's not quite right. They have no key for the garage, and any time they try to get inside they end up distracted. A mysterious black cat patrols the property, seemingly waiting for something or someone. And strange noises at night hint at a hidden presence that lurks in the shadows. Soon, Parker discovers that Styre House has many mysteries. As she gets to know a local historian from the nearby village, she starts to uncover a horrifying web of lies, secrets and deaths, all connected to someone who lived in the house more than a century earlier. But is the past willing to stay buried, or is there some truth to the rumors of ghostly encounters and witchcraft? The Haunting of Styre House is the first book in a trilogy about a remote, abandoned English cottage that still bears the scars of its terrifying past. Who is Smythe, where does he come from, and how far is he willing to go in order to protect the legacy of his mistress? This book ends on a cliffhanger.
