Kate Alice Marshall: These Fleeting Shadows, Gebunden

Klappentext

The Haunting of Hill House meets Knives Out in a bid for an inheritance that will leave Helen Vaughan either rich...or dead.

Helen Vaughan hasn't seen her extended family since she was a child-until she has a vision of her estranged grandfather. He tells her that her ancestral home awaits, but warns that she must beware of "the spiral"...whatever that means. And then she learns that her grandfather is dead.

When Helen, her mother, and stepfather return to Harrowstone Hall for the funeral, they expect to leave immediately after the service. There's nothing but bad blood between her mom and the rest of the family. That is, until it's revealed that the bulk of her grandfather's grandiose fortune, along with Harrow itself, have been left to Helen-though everyone else will still receive several million dollars apiece. There's just one catch: Helen must remain on the estate for one whole year, or none of them will see a penny of it.

It's a simple enough task, so Helen agrees. But there's more to Harrow than meets the eye; it's not safe to wander the hallways at night and one must never, ever stay out past the evening bell. For the grounds are crawling with creatures that have a mind of their own. And even though Helen is sure she's never been to Harrow before, its spiraling halls seem to know her. The question of her new residency is no longer will she leave, but can she.
