A Brush with Shadows (A Lady Darby Mystery)
by Anna Lee Huber - Lady Kiera and her husband Sebastian Gage barely finish solving a murder case in Ireland when Gage receives a letter from his grandfather, Lord Tavistock, summoning him to the family home. He hasn't been to his childhood home for fifteen years, but his cousin - the heir to the title and estate - has gone missing. Gage and Kiera don't receive a very warm welcome as his aunt and younger cousin seem to resent their arrival, but Lord Tavistock is gravely ill and cousin Alfred is still missing.
They dutifully begin tracking down any clues to Alfred's whereabouts, while being subjected to the scorn of Gage's aunt and the changing whims of cousin Rory. Since Gage grew up in the house, he knows about some secret passageways and blocks access to their bedchamber, but Kiera's dreams of someone standing over them while they sleep prove to be reality. Who is stealing into their room and trying to harm them? And is Alfred missing due to foul play, or has he disappeared of his own volition? Is there any connection between the story of a family curse and the disappearances?
Gage must face his difficult memories and find the truth before harm comes to Kiera or to other members of the family.
