The Evil at Queen's Priory — Virginia Coffman
A Shadow of Doom
was casting its pall over everyone at Queen's Priory, the ancient family estate of the Hildreth's. It began with the unfortunate accident that claimed Lord Gerald's life, leaving his beautiful widow Margaret to raise their young son alone. Alone, that is, except for Stephen, Gerald's handsome younger brother. Stephen had always held a strange attraction for Margaret. Perhaps she could have come to love him in time -- if he hadn't tried to poison her son! Yet when a jury found Stephen innocent and he returned home to the Priory, Margaret began to wonder if she had wronged him. But if Stephen wasn't the murderer, who was? And whose was the ghostly voice, so like her husband's that called to Margaret from the darkness, luring her to a frightening fate...?
