If These Walls Could Talk

The last living inhabitant of Allerdale Hall may have just passed away, but the centuries-old manor is far from vacant.

When an eccentric, old bachelor dies with a mountain of debt instead of an heir, historian Lucy Montgomery is tasked with the valuation of his assets. The man’s seemingly derelict country estate turns out to be a treasure trove of intricate furnishings and priceless artwork for the antiques dealer, but Lucy’s not the only one interested in the house’s contents.

Michael Davenport claims to be working for a rival firm, but his attention is focused on just one particular object. In spite of inexplicable noises and vanishing shadows, the duo discovers not only the innocuous-looking tapestry, but also a shocking mystery that unleashes Allerdale Hall’s suppressed fury.

And the house is certainly mad . . . because secrets aren’t allowed to leave this place built on a bed of crimson clay and neither can anyone who has discovered them.
