The House Above the River — Josephine Bell

Giles Armitage needed to get away from it all and a sailing holiday with friends was just the escape he needed.

Everything was going well until they became stranded in thick fog. Luckily they were invited to stay at a small chateau nearby, until the weather cleared.

But the atmosphere in the chateau was tense. Giles was brought face to face with the woman he once loved, and whom he was trying to forget-the hauntingly beautiful Miriam. Miriam's husband was clearly uneasy and she was terrified-convinced, as she confided in Giles, that someone was trying to kill her. Following a series of disturbing accidents, Giles began to think she could possibly be right.
