Swans of Westermere

“Death knows not the Grave.” When young Joss Tanner moves with her mother and sister into their ancestral home, she overhears terrifying rumors of dark family secrets: debutantes flung from balconies, drownings, and the devil himself locked in a box on the mantelpiece. “Curiosity killed the cat,” Joss replied. “Everybody knows that.” “Oh, no, child,” said Gramma Johns. “It was the swan.” But what inquisitive girl can ignore poking around Westermere’s dusty cupboards, its hidden attics? Joss’s investigations soon unearth clues about crimes a century old—and a curse captured on a tintype. Can Joss convince her mother and sister to leave Westermere before family history repeats itself?
