Kate Morgan is helping her best friend, Beth, decorate for
her parents’ fiftieth anniversary party at the Storyville Inn, which was formerly
the Prescott mansion. While there, they learn the details of the legend
surrounding the inn.
In the late eighteen hundreds, Elise Prescott disappeared
from her home without a trace. Although there was speculation that her husband
murdered her, there was no proof to substantiate the allegations. Now, ninety-five
year old Ellen Prescott, Elise’s granddaughter, is obsessed with proving her
grandfather’s innocence and clearing her family’s name before she dies.
When Ellen turns up missing and then is found dead in the
woods behind the inn, the coroner rules it an accidental death. But her
granddaughter, Jennifer, doesn’t believe that’s true. She asks Kate and Beth,
who are fascinated with the legend and always eager to solve a mystery, to help
her prove that her grandmother was murdered and to find her killer.
