Camden Bristow, a freelance photographer, is broke, jobless, and now homeless, so she decides a good plan would be to visit her grandmother in Ohio who she hasn't seen since she was ten. Upon her arrival though, she finds out her grandmother has passed away and left her the 150 year old mansion on Crescent Hill. Devastated, she settles in to the beaten up house only to find evidence that she may not be the mansion's only occupant. Things keep disappearing. Could her grandmother's stories of secret passages and runaway slaves be true?
Alex Yates is relatively new to town, and is intent on making money via developments. His proposal to bring a Walmart to town was shot down. The land around the mansion could be quite valuable - is that what motivates him to help Camden?
It seems others know the home's secrets. Will Camden learn them in time?
The author's writing flowed and I really enjoyed this book. The mystery of what was going on and who Camden could trust really pulled you in. I liked reading familiar town names from when I lived in Ohio, too, and I found myself wishing we had an old house like this one. Sigh! A girl can dream, right? The historical parts with the Underground Railroad are just enough to reel in a history geek like myself without boring the non-history folks. Speaking of my fellow history geeks, if you'd like to check out a photo of the house that inspired this book, you can do so on the author's website - you can also find out more about her and check out some of her other books!
