Shadows Over Ravenkirk

From the author of the acclaimed Amelia Temple books comes the first in the highly anticipated novella series, Shadows Over Ravenkirk: The Last Will and Testament of Wilhelmina Bruttenholm.

Victoria Williams, a struggling photographer from Boston, receives a letter informing her of a surprise inheritance. Wilhelmina Bruttenholm of Ravenkirk, Maine, has recently passed away and left her a bequest. Victoria doesn't know who Wilhelmina is-to her knowledge, she doesn't know anyone in Ravenkirk-but she travels to Maine anyway to attend the will reading.

But who is this family and what do they really want of her? Struggling to understand the events happening in this unique little town, Victoria is confronted with secrets, magic, and Samantha, one very sweet tarantula. And while she must face the truth about her own mysterious family history, she will have to do so carefully. Because murder abounds in Ravenkirk and nobody is who they appear to be.
