A mysterious inheritance.
An ancient house.
A secret staircase that leads straight into danger.
When Tess MacKay unexpectedly inherits property from an unknown relative, she travels to a remote island off the coast of Maine expecting answers. Instead, she finds Wendover House-an ancient, atmospheric mansion filled with shadows, secrets, and whispers from the past.
The island has a dark history of smugglers, pirates, betrayal, and an old curse that refuses to stay buried. As Tess begins to explore her strange inheritance, she discovers that the sins of previous generations are still very much alive-and that someone may be willing to kill to keep them hidden.
With danger closing in and the past reaching into the present, Tess must uncover the truth behind Wendover House before its secrets claim another victim.
Melanie Jackson pens a sumptuous modern gothic.

The Secret Staircase is the first book in Melanie Jackson's bestselling Wendover House Cozy Mystery Series, a gothic-tinged cozy mystery filled with island atmosphere, family secrets, hidden passages, old curses, and murder.
