Book Description
A bleak, isolated seaside, a suspicious drowning, a crumbling old mansion and its potpourri of strange guests-- all of these were waiting to greet young Charlotte Elliott when she rang the ancient bell on her grandmother's door. Behind the drawn blinds of the old house someone-or something-stirred. Then the door opened, and Charlotte was plunged into an eerie nightmare which did not end with the coming of day. "Exciting and different, within the traditional and perfect setting of a huge, decaying lonely house on the Devonshire coast. A group of people intent on hiding something (murder!) plus lots of peripheral action make this an unusually susenseful and exciting mystery." -- Charleston News & Courier
