The Dead Secret Book 5 Chapter 3

In which Mr. and Mrs. Frankland arrive at a sombre Porthgenna Tower, greeted by servants and a village subdued by recent tragedy, and begin to explore the mysteries hinted at within the house’s north rooms and by the peculiar behaviour of enigmatic visitors. Rosamond, with a gentle mixture of hope and anxiety, involves her husband in their quiet inquiries and reflections on the secret past entwined with the household, while domestic warmth and tender family moments offer a delicate counterpoint to the shadowy unknown.
