'Kelly Rimmer always delivers a poignant story with real characters who lodge themselves in your heart' New York Times bestselling author Madeline Martin
A crumbling mansion, a forgotten book, and a mystery that could destroy them all . . .
Beneath the decaying grandeur of Wurimbirra, a family estate on the east coast of Australia, dark secrets lie buried. Fiona Winslow returns to restore the mansion she once called home, but what she uncovers is more than just decay - it is a mystery locked away for generations.
A forgotten book, The Midnight Estate, leads her into a story of love, loss, and betrayal mirroring her own. And as the lines between fiction and reality blur, Fiona must confront a chilling question: Is the true mystery hidden in the walls of her ancestral home, or within the pages of a book that seems to have chosen her?
A Gothic tale told across three timelines, The Midnight Estate is a haunting mystery entwining a family's darkest secrets and a captivating book-within-a-book puzzle.
