“If Sarah Waters and Stephen King had a love child, it would be Wendy Webb!”
—M. J. Rose, author of The Book of Lost Fragrances
“A perfect read for a dark and stormy night. A haunted house, a decade-old murder mystery, supernatural thrills, secret passageways, romance, and a likeable heroine. What’s not to like?”
—Phillip Margolin, New York Times bestselling author of Proof Positive
“In the gothic tradition of Rebecca and The House of the Seven Gables, Wendy Webb’s intoxicating mystery The Fate of Mercy Alban follows one family’s effort to confront the secrets of its own sordid past as they haunt the last remaining members of the storied Alban clan. Hidden passages, portraits with moving eyes, and the conflicting mandates of wealth, power, and love weave together to create a story that will send chills down your spine. Read in a well-lit room!”
—Katherine Howe, author of The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane and The House of Velvet and Glass
