Girl in the Shadows — Miriam Lynch

Long after midnight, Amanda was awakened by strange noises coming from the tower room. They were faint at first, then grew louder, and were much like those made by someone crying in the night…

Amanda does not want to go back. She would not have returned to the looming mansion at all, except Madame Bonheur's will was to be read, and Amanda was to inherit money.

For Amanda, and for her friends, attractive Rick and silent, troubled Ellen, the house brings back painful memories of tragedy and fear. And the fear starts all over again on the first night of their visit -- the eerie nighttime crying, the haunted midnight music, the ghostly apparitions.

Amanda and Rick are full of unanswered questions. Who is trying to frighten them? Why did Madame Bonheur insist that her will be read a year after her death? And whatever happened to Carla, the beautiful girl who disappeared so mysteriously eight years before?...
