Footsteps in the Dark - Georgette Heyer

\n \nWhat begins as an adventure soon becomes a nightmare...\n \nLocals 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?\n \nBright and effervescent. --The Times Literary Supplement\n
