Footsteps in the Dark by Georgette Heyer is my classic of the month, and what a great book it is! I have found my next classic series to read. I love mysteries from the Golden Age of Detective Fiction and these books don’t disappoint. A intriguing mystery, a touch of romance, and the English countryside are perfection in my book. You’ll love it too…
“Bright and effervescent.”—The Time’s Literary Supplement
Footsteps in the Dark
What begins as an adventure soon becomes a nightmare…
Locals claim it is haunted and refuse to put a single toe past the front door, but to siblings Peter, Celia, and Margaret, the Priory is nothing more than a rundown estate inherited from their late uncle-and the perfect setting for a much-needed holiday. But when a murder victim is discovered in the drafty Priory halls, the once unconcerned trio begins to fear that the ghostly rumors are true and they are not alone after all! With a killer on the loose, will they find themselves the next victims of a supernatural predator, or will they uncover a far more corporeal culprit?
What Readers Are Saying:
“One of the best stories Mrs. Heyer ever concocted, and of course written in her own inimitable style, with plenty of wit and dry humor.”
“Spine-tingling enjoyment.”
