The dark library

The dark library

Mary Anna Evans
Book - 2025

"Estella Ecker has returned to Rockfall House, the last place on earth she wants to be. Years after she ran away from her overbearing father, she has been forced back home to walk in his footsteps, teaching at the college he dominated and living in the fabulous home where he entertained artists and scholars for decades-and perhaps she owns it now, because her mercurial mother has disappeared. At the center of everything-the whispers, the rumors, the secrets-is her father's library of rare books, which she had been forbidden to touch while he was alive to stop her. Everyone in town is watching Estella, with her dead father's name on their lips, and no one seems to care about her missing mother. Who were her parents, really, and is the answer hidden somewhere in the depths of Rockfall House? And who will Estella be, if she gathers enough courage to find that answer? What she will discover is that no one can escape the secrets hidden in this dark library."--Dust jacket flap.
