Ellie is young, rich, engaged, and in love. In the carefree days before marriage and new responsibility, she decides to house-sit at Aunt Kate's palatial estate in Burton, Virginia. With its nearly invisible housekeepers and plethora of pets, Ellie feels right at home. But when she opens an antique book about the town's aristocracy, she finds disturbing secrets that extend to her own family.

Suddenly, Ellie's interest in the past is attracting a slew of unwelcome guests - some of them living and some perhaps not. Unwittingly, she has aroused a terrible vengeance that is now aimed at her.

Critic reviews

"No one is better at juggling torches while dancing on a high wire than Elizabeth Peters." (Chicago Tribune)

The story was ok, not bad, but a bit convoluted to work as a believable plot. The reader was painful to listen tol. Every characters voice seemed to be an imitation of characters from old tv shows;Miss Ellie from Dallas, Jennifer Hart from Heart to Heart. Very distracting to listen to and made it difficult to hear the writers voice coming through their own character.

So happy to have found this! I own every one of Peters books except this one. Plots, humor, characters, twists and turns... And a marvelous central character, Kate, reminiscent of Amelia Peabody.

A hard to find peters book

Fun way to learn about history without letting the romance overpower the main plot.
Whether writing as Elizabeth Peters or Barbara Michael’s, the author’s smart dialogue and insouciance makes my day

Great narrator
