Seven people arrive at Blackwater House for the reading of a dead woman's will.
By morning, one of them is dead.
Investigative genealogist Genevere Christian has built her career on a simple rule: people tell stories, but records tell the truth. When the late Evelyn Blackwater leaves Genevere a photograph linking her own mother to a twenty-eight-year-old disappearance, that rule begins to fracture.
Claire Bellamy vanished from Blackwater House without explanation. Her car was found abandoned. Her family was told she ran away. The people who were there that night have spent nearly three decades protecting different versions of what happened.
Now Evelyn's final will has brought them back together.
An estranged heir drowning in debt.
A physician guarding an old confidence.
A caretaker whose family never stopped searching.
A celebrated writer with a deeply personal interest in Claire's disappearance.
A former friend who heard something she has never forgotten.
And a woman who knows exactly where the past was buried.
When the executor of Evelyn's estate is murdered inside a locked room, Genevere discovers that someone is not merely hiding the truth.
Someone is rewriting it.
To solve the murder, she must untangle altered records, missing evidence, disputed inheritances, buried family connections, and the secrets her own mother took to the grave.
Because at Blackwater House, the most dangerous lie is the one built from facts.
The Last Guest at Blackwater House is an atmospheric psychological murder mystery featuring a sharp female amateur sleuth, a closed circle of suspects, a decades-old disappearance, buried family secrets, and a fair-play mystery where every clue matters.
The first Genevere Christian Mystery.
