The Inheritors of Moonlyght Tower
England, 1916
With her mother ill and her father threatening to marry her off to a violent neighbour, Jessie Sedgwick takes up a position as a kitchen maid at Moonlyght Tower to escape her home.
But Moonlyght is far from a sanctuary. Its imposing Gothic tower looms menacingly over the building and Jessie is surprised to find the only other staff members are a sour housekeeper and an unfriendly nurse who looks after the bedbound lady of the house.
Not long after arriving, Jessie meets a former kitchen maid, Ethel Widdop, who warns Jessie to leave as soon as possible. But before Jessie can find out more, Ethel is found dead…
And something strange is happening at Moonlyght. Jessie sees something strange in the imposing tower and she hears footsteps coming from an empty room. A room she discovers belonged to the heir to the house, Jonathan, who fell from the tower two years ago.
It’s clear there are dark secrets hiding at Moonlyght, and despite herself, Jessie finds herself drawn in.
What ails the lady of the house? Was her son’s death really an accident – or something more sinister?
And is Jessie in danger of ending up like Ethel…?
