The Secret of Montroth House — Muriel Newsome

Lorene Kilmer heads for the wilds of British Columbia and her two eccentric aunts when her father dies, and there she encounters an evil presence at their abode, Montroth House, a threat against her life, and an enigmatic, handsome stranger.

After a terrible family tragedy, Lorene sought out her last living relatives, two elderly - and eccentric - aunts who lived in the tainted shadows of Montroth House.

Her aunts were, indeed, a strange pair. But stranger was still the aura of evil that whispered in the night...the fearful warnings of the housekeeper...and the threatening letter slipped into Lorene's hands. And when someone tried to push her down the stairs, Lorene knew the danger was real - and fled into the arms of a handsome stranger.

But could Lorene truly trust this man? Could she trust anyone? The answer lay buried...deep in the Montroth woods.
