A Nora Ashby Novel · Book 1

The Last Guest at Fenmoor Hall

By Evelyn Sterling

SOMEONE WANTS HER DEAD BEFORE CHRISTMAS. AND THEY'VE CHOSEN WHO TO BLAME.

Twelve days. One remote house at the head of a Yorkshire dale. One elderly woman with a bad heart, a box of tablets, and a family who have come home for Christmas, because she has just announced she is changing her will.

Nurse Nora Ashby took the job to hide from her past. Then the snow comes, the phone goes dead, and a stranger knocks at the door in the middle of the night. And the small white tablets in the old woman's medicine box start to multiply.

Someone in Fenmoor Hall wants Margaret Fenwick dead before the New Year. And they have made very sure that, if anyone is blamed, it will be Nora.

A gripping, cosy-dark Christmas suspense novel: a snowbound English country house, a family with too many secrets, and a heroine who must learn to trust herself again. Perfect for curling up by the fire, if you dare.

A Nora Ashby Novel · Book 2

The Last Letter from Whitlock Island

By Evelyn Sterling

SOMEONE IN THIS HOUSE IS LYING TO ME.

A letter arrives at Fenmoor Hall from an island off the coast of Maine. Eleanor Whitlock, eighty-four, widow of the last of a great shipping family, believes someone in her own home wants her gone. Every evening she loses her mind. Every morning she is told she is failing.

Nora Ashby crosses an ocean to find a sharp, funny, fearless old woman who is clear as a bell by day, and seeing her dead husband at the window by night. Her new will has vanished. Her lawyer never made it home. An old diary has reappeared by her bed, full of entries she doesn't remember writing.

Then a nor'easter cuts the island off from the world, the phone line goes dead, and the storm gives up a body on the rocks below the lighthouse.

A gripping, atmospheric winter mystery of family, betrayal and a past that refuses to stay buried: a snowbound island house, a household of secrets, and a heroine who has learned to trust what she sees.
