Cry of the Whippoorwill — Juanita Tyree Osborne

Erica Nesbitt had never met Deadrick Thornton. But their mothers had once been good friends, and the two young people had corresponded for many months. When Deadrick asked Erica to visit him at his huge estate, Whippoorwill Hollow, she wondered if the friendship nourished by their letters could grow into something more.

But there was also something ominous about Whippoorwill Hollow. Erica had felt it on the misty day she arrived. And she knew that someone at the house--someone crazed with hate--would destroy their love at any cost, even if it meant murder.
