The first book in Melanie Jackson's bestselling Wendover House Cozy Mystery Series. "Melanie Jackson pens a sumptuous modern gothic." --Booklist A strange inheritance leads Tess MacKay to an island in Maine. In her unknown relative's ancient house, she discovers that the sins of the past are very much alive and able to be visited on the children. Smugglers and pirates and an old curse are not just things of the past, but dangers and mysteries to be reckoned with today. Mystery Series Chloe Boston Buttersctoch Jones Wendover House Miss Henry Historical Mysteries Death in a High Place Praise for the Author "A wickedly sexy tale!" --Christine Feehan, New York Times Bestselling Author (on The Selkie) "... delivers sizzling romance and ghoulish thrills at a breathtaking clip." --Publishers Weekly (on Traveler) "Readers of Laurel K. Hamilton will enjoy this complex tale..." --Booklist (on Still Life) About the Author Melanie has been writing her entire life. In fact, one of her earliest fond memories is receieving an IBM Selectric typewriter for her birthday. After publishing romance novels (scottish historical and paranormal) for New York based publisher Dorchester Publishing from 1999 to 2010, Melanie chose to begin self-publishing cozy mysteries. Since then she has released the Chloe Boston, Butterscotch Jones, Wendover House, and Miss Henry Mystery series. Melanie Jackson is the award-winning author of more than seventy novels, novellas and poems published in various languages. She lives with her writer husband, her bossy cat and spoiled dog in the Sierra foothills where it is almost impossible to grow pumpkins (or anything else the deer like). Besides gardening, she is involved with animal charities. Three times nominated for RT's Reviewers' Choice Award. Twice nominated for RT's Lifetime Achievement Award. If you're looking for mysteries in other series by the same author, simply search for "Chloe Boston", "Butterscotch Jones", "Wendover House", or "Miss Henry".
