Book
Researching her family tree had been little more than a hobby - until Katie stepped onto Kingsley House's sprawling, ivy-strewn drive. The house may be crumbling today, but it was once the intimidatingly opulent residence of the St Clairs, Katie's ancestors. Arriving here 200 years later, emotion stirs in Katie: a strange nostalgia for a place she's never seen before - and when Kingsley House comes up for sale, Katie is determined that her family must buy it. Surrounded by the mysteries of the past, Katie's pastime becomes a darker obsession, as she searches through history to trace her heritage. But she soon discovers that these walls house terrible secrets. And when forgotten stories and hidden betrayals come to light, the past seems more alive than Katie could ever have imagined.
