Then a stranger arrives to make her a peculiar offer. The lord he serves, Mr. Pemberton, has been inconsolable since the tragic death of his beautiful bride-to-be. If Genevieve can perform a seÌance persuasive enough to bring the young lord peace, she will win her freedom. Soothing a grieving nobleman should be easy for someone of Genevieve's skill, but when she arrives at the grand Somerset Park estate, Mr. Pemberton is not the heartbroken lover she expected. The surly--yet exceedingly handsome--gentleman is certain that his fianceÌe was murdered, even though there is no evidence. Only a confession can bring justice now, and Mr. Pemberton decides Genevieve will help him get it. With his knowledge of the household and her talent for illusion, they can stage a haunting so convincing it will coax the killer into the light. However, when frightful incidents befall the manor, Genevieve realizes her tricks aren't required after all. She may be a fake, but Somerset's ghost could be all too real... A Dreadful Splendor is delicious brew of mystery, spooky thrills, and intoxicating romance that makes for a ghoulishly fun and page-turning read."--Back cover. 650 0 $a Murder $x Investigation $v Fiction. $9 263322 650 0 $a Mediums $v Fiction. $9 263862 650 0 $a Seances $v Fiction. 651 0 $a London (England) $x Social life and customs $y 19th century $v Fiction. $9 212230 650 0 $a Secrecy $v Fiction. $9 289044 655 7 $a Detective and mystery fiction. $2 lcgft $9 802168 655 7 $a Ghost stories. $2 lcgft $9 802183 655 7 $a Paranormal fiction. $2 lcgft $9 802195 941 $a 12 952 $l GPPC641 $d 20240521010520.0 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409043740.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012022606.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010024747.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20230902010436.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20230829010733.0 952 $l TFPI826 $d 20230802011702.0 952 $l VYPA964 $d 20230729010801.0 952 $l SIPD314 $d 20230201023308.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20221202011543.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20221102014406.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20221004010703.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A614562E300611EDA406B4E81FECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b KAYInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
