The Mandeville Curse

“I love, love, LOVE this series… I’m not ashamed to say I cried reading these books.” Reader review, 5 stars

1937. When her young protégé is killed in suspicious circumstances, celebrated photojournalist Hettie Turner is wracked with guilt. Desperate to escape her grief, she travels to the distant Hill House to help with an unusual request.

Arriving at the ancestral home of the Mandevilles, Hettie finds a family struggling to accept the passing of the head of the household. Hettie is enlisted to catalogue the eclectic collection of antiquities amassed by Sir Charles Mandeville when he explored the world as a young man, and, as she works, she finds herself turning to the family’s groom, the handsome ex-soldier Rhys Lewis, for help. The longer she stays at Hill House, the more she learns about its history, the more it gets under her skin – from the graceful sweep of the central staircase to the soft rustle of pages in the old library. At first, she dismisses the legend that a cursed object is responsible for the many tragedies that have befallen the family. But as Hettie delves deeper into her work, increasingly unsettling experiences occur around her.

Could there really be a curse over this family? And if there is, can Hettie break the hold it has over Hill House and over her?
