Book Description
Every fiber in my being was telling me that something wasn't right. Something terrible had happened here... Something terrible was still happening. Bang! The front door suddenly flew open. I opened my mouth in a soundless scream and fled for the gate. The tree branches were shaking frantically in the wind. Something smacked the side of my head and knocked me to the ground. Lost in her great-grandmother's woods, Annie Thompson happens upon an abandoned mansion. It was a dead estate—the mansion, the grounds, the fountain. Nothing moved, yet everything spoke. The secrets of an age past were brewing just beneath the surface. People had gone inside and never returned. At the return of Annie's childhood neighbor Judson Steele, now a private investigator, the two set off to uncover the mystery of the mansion. Their first perusal turns up nothing more conspicuous than a dusty table setting. But is there more to The Forbidden Mansion than meets the eye? Katlyn Weaver's gripping novel deftly blends romance and adventure in this fast-paced tale of treachery and trepidation. As Annie and Steele search for clues, they find more than they bargained for. The inexplicable vanishing of townspeople, a secret tunnel, and the crazed inhabitant within are all a part of the mystery surrounding The Forbidden Mansion.
