Shadows at Ravensworth Manor

A manor on the hill. A séance broadcast live. A death in a locked room.

Elara Nightingale runs Hollow Creek's ghost tours with one rule:
every legend has a logical explanation.

Ravensworth Manor is supposed to be another story she can explain.

When developer Victor Hale reopens the long-abandoned Victorian estate for a livestream séance, the entire town watches. The door to the séance parlour is bolted from the inside. The cameras are rolling.

And Victor Hale collapses at the table.

Cardiac event, the preliminary report says.

But Elara was watching the monitor feed.
She saw the wine glass.
She smelled something wrong at the rim.
And she knows sealed rooms are only sealed if you don't understand the architecture.

As rumors of a century-old curse ignite across Hollow Creek, Elara must untangle superstition from strategy, expose what the cameras missed, and uncover who turned a theatrical ghost hunt into real murder.

Because someone in that room knew exactly what they were doing.

Perfect for fans of locked-room mysteries, gothic settings, and intelligent female sleuths who trust evidence over folklore.

At Ravensworth Manor, the past isn't haunting the present.

Someone is using it.
