Summary

It’s been three years since Sherilee Malcolm was acquitted of the murder of her former mentor and lover, Otto Workman. A popular writer, Sherilee goes underground and creates a fictional character for herself, living a life of illusion. And then, one day, it cracks.
 
Washington “Wash” Shank, a detective hired by Sherilee’s lawyers to prove her innocent, is under siege from the firm where he works. His job was to ruin the confidence of the lead witness against Sherilee. Now that man, Simon Parker, claims he has seen a second murder, and believes it was committed by someone who's a dead ringer for Sherilee.
 
A sculptor and multimedia artist, Parker has a show scheduled that will reveal his vision of the murder and Sherilee’s guilt. Parker’s desire to reveal a truth he does not know, but is convinced he does, becomes a point that Shank wants to thwart, and Sherilee wants to disprove. Now, all of their reputations are at stake. But are their lives as well?

    Fenway Stevenson came to her father's arraignment to support him. She didn't expect another murder—this time, right before her eyes. 
    When two gunshots shatter the tense courtroom, panic erupts—and the doors lock automatically, trapping Fenway inside with twelve others.

    Governess Mary Wilcox travels to the sultry Garden District of New Orleans, where she goes to work for a family amidst Spanish moss-draped mansions.
    
    During preparations for Mardi Gras festivities, one of the children under Mary’s care uncovers old sheet music that plays an eerie lament when performed. 
    
    Soon after, a series of chilling incidents strikes those connected to an old jazz club the family owns. Plagued by the ghostly echoes of a love lost to music and a disappearance shrouded in silence, Mary must untangle the notes of the past from the present.

    A sister looking for answers.  A brother with secrets to hide... 
    Three days before Christmas, I travel to Midwinter Manor in Norfolk through a worsening snowstorm to meet Daniel, the brother I never knew existed. He has reluctantly granted me an hour of his precious time. 
    The welcome I receive is frosty. Daniel is cold, intimidating and unfriendly, while his wife, Rose, is polite, but tense. From the moment I step through the door of this imposing manor house, I sense I’m not welcome. 
    When I go to leave, the snowy blizzard prevents me. Then there’s a power cut and I can’t let anyone know where I am. I realise I am trapped. 
    Something feels wrong in this house. The way Daniel and Rose speak in whispers behind closed doors suggests something’s amiss. As cracks start to form in their stories, I wonder what it is they are hiding. 
    Midwinter Manor is a house full of secrets, and some of them are dangerously deadly.
