Sinopse

A coded message arrives at Baker Street, warning of a murder that has already taken place in a moated country manor. The investigation leads Holmes to uncover a secret society and a history of violence in the coal mining districts of America. The narrative structure splits between the deductive puzzle in England and the gritty backstory of the "Scowrers" across the Atlantic. It is a grim and compelling tale that demonstrates the long reach of organized crime and the persistence of vengeance.

    The Organisation is a fantasy set in a make-believe world of wooden sailing ships, horse-drawn carriages and soldiers in red tunics and tall hats. Although it is a fairy tale it contains no magic or talking animals and is not meant for young children. It is intended for grown-ups, particularly ones with inquiring interests in a wide range of contentious issues. 
    A gold storage business is transformed into a very profitable bank when its owners find they can create paper money, and issue loans, without the need to back all their banknotes with gold. It transforms Areho into a flourishing kingdom. An association dedicated to protecting business interests is formed. To help obscure it from the public the association is not given a name, although to members of its innermost circles it is known as 'The Organisation'. By secretly infiltrating all centres of power and influence, including the monarchy and the news media, 'The Organisation' fulfils its goal, but astute members of its inner circles realise that the economic system they have created has a requirement of its own. It is an issue they cannot ignore.

    A summer house party in the countryside takes a deadly turn after the abduction of a viscountess. 
     
     
     
    After the shocking events of the spring, Audrey Sinclair and Hugh Marsden are adjusting to their new lives when an apparent highway robbery ends in the violent abduction of Audrey's sister. 
     
     
     
    As callous as Millie has been in the past, Audrey can't turn her back on family. She'll do whatever it takes to find her sister, even if it means working with the man she's been avoiding for months: former Bow Street officer Hugh Marsden. 
     
     
     
    Unsettled with his new role in society, and being deemed one of London's most eligible bachelors, Hugh is happy to fall back on his Bow Street skills to track down Lady Redding—and to see Audrey again. But the viscountess's disappearance is only half of the puzzle. A long-lost ring worth a fortune could be the driving force behind the deadly events, and as Audrey and Hugh unravel the truth—along with the secrets and complications surrounding their future—a killer closes in on the house party . . . and selects a new victim.

    A fog-shrouded train. A vanished passenger. A truth that defies the living. 
    When William Langford boards the 4:15 express on a damp December evening, he expects nothing more than a quiet journey to his friend’s country estate. But his solitary compartment is unexpectedly intruded upon by a familiar traveler — a reserved, pale-faced gentleman carrying a heavy deed-box and an unsettling air. 
    By the time the train slows into Blackwater station, the stranger disappears into the swirling mist. And then — he is gone. Not merely from sight, but from the world. 
    Langford soon learns the unthinkable: the man he shared the compartment with died months before. His arrival at Dumbleton Manor sets off shock, whispers, and a chilling realization that reason cannot explain. 
    Driven by duty — and haunted by what he saw — Langford becomes entwined in a mystery that bridges the natural and the supernatural. What begins as a polite Victorian travel tale unravels into a ghostly investigation, a financial scandal, and a murder buried beneath brambles, secrets, and time. 
    Amelia B. Edwards delivers one of the finest railway ghost mysteries of the Victorian age — a tale steeped in cold iron, lamplight, and a chilling question that echoes long after the final page: 
    What travels with us when justice has not yet been served? 
    Perfect for fans of M.R. James, Charles Dickens’ ghost stories, and Sherlock Holmes-era intrigue. 
    Narrated with atmospheric depth by Jason Miller.

    Can Jackson expose the horror hidden within the haunted halls and find his own peace? 
    An engaging supernatural mystery novel about family secrets, the price of vengeance, and learning to move on after loss. -- Clarion Reviews 
    Eerie, surprising, and profoundly emotional, The House on Tyner by Matthew O'Connell is a beautifully written ghost story with the structure of a mystery. A powerfully written ghost story that manages to be appealingly realistic, while also questioning the boundaries of the tangible world. Giving a poetic side to the enigmatic and haunted, the novel is unique in the paranormal genre. ★★★★½ -- Self-Publishing Review 
    5 out of 5 stars. I found nothing to dislike about this novel. I thoroughly enjoyed this mystery novel. My eyes were glued to the pages by the end of the book. The author included many plot twists and turns to keep readers engaged throughout the novel. As someone who often shies away from ghost stories due to cheesiness, I wholeheartedly recommend this book, as it is a decidedly realistic portrayal of the paranormal. -- OnlineBookClub
