The Secrets of Wrenfield: An Ivy Ashford Mystery

A lonely old house. A music box that plays in the dark. A secret hidden before the auction bell falls.

When eighteen-year-old Ivy Ashford sets type for the Wrenfield tax-sale notice at her father's newspaper office, she thinks only that it is a shame. By dusk, she has rescued Miss Cordelia Wren from the foggy lake road and seen a pale face watching from a tower window no one should be able to enter.

Wrenfield is said to be haunted. Lights appear in empty rooms. Music boxes play by themselves. A smooth stranger is pressing Miss Wren to sell the old family house before the county auction can take it away.

Ivy does not believe in ghosts, but she does believe in clues. With her friends Birdie Nash and Tess Calloway at her side, she follows Ezra Wren's riddle from a music box to a sampler, a sundial, a lonely island, and a wall that sings.

If Ivy cannot find the truth in time, Miss Wren will lose Wrenfield forever, and the secret hidden inside its old walls may fall into the hands of a clever thief.

The Secret of Wrenfield is Book One in the Ivy Ashford Mysteries: a clean, cozy, clue-filled mystery for readers who enjoy brave heroines, old houses, hidden rooms, and timeless adventure.
