About this ebook

'A stunning novel full of heart, hope and enduring love in all its forms. A heart-wrenching mystery to savour' AMANDA GEARD, author of The Midnight House

A crumbling mansion, a forgotten book, and the mystery that could destroy them all . . .

In the aftermath of a tumultuous year, Fiona Winslow finds solace in the decaying grandeur of Wurimbirra, the rambling family estate on Australia's east coast. Intent on restoring it - despite her mother's objections - Fiona discovers the keys to more than just the dilapidated country mansion, but a secret buried for generations.

When a book, The Midnight Estate, catches her attention, Fiona is plunged into a tale that mirrors her own life - a story of love, loss and betrayal. She dismisses the similarities as coincidence, but as she's drawn deeper into the story, the lines between fiction and reality blur, and Fiona must ask herself: how well does she know her own family?

A gothic epic that spans generations, The Midnight Estate is a chilling journey through a family's darkest secrets, and the haunting echoes they leave behind.
