The Vanishing at Castle Moreau
The Vanishing at Castle Moreau | Jaime Jo Wright
4 posts | 4 read | 5 to read
A haunting legend. An ominous curse. A search for a secret buried deep within the castle walls. In 1870, orphaned Daisy Franois takes a position as housemaid at a Wisconsin castle to escape the horrors of her past life. There she finds a reclusive and eccentric Gothic authoress who hides tales more harrowing than the ones in her novels. As women disappear from the area and the eerie circumstances seem to parallel a local legend, Daisy is thrust into a web that could ultimately steal her sanity, if not her life. In the present day, Cleo Clemmons is hired by the grandson of an American aristocratic family to help his grandmother face her hoarding in the dilapidated Castle Moreau. But when Cleo uncovers more than just the woman's stash of collectibles, a century-old mystery and the dust of the old castle's curse threaten to rise again . . . this time to leave no one alive to tell the sordid tale. Award-winning author Jaime Jo Wright seamlessly weaves a dual-time tale of two women who must do all they can to seek the light amid the darkness shrouding Castle Moreau. "An imaginative and mysterious tale."--New York Times bestselling author RACHEL HAUCK "Jaime Jo Wright never disappoints, and The Vanishing at Castle Moreau is no exception. With real, flawed characters who grapple with real-life struggles, this gripping suspense novel will draw readers in from the very first page. Good luck putting it down. I couldn't."--LYNETTE EASON, bestselling author of the Extreme Measures series

This is a haunted house story that takes us back to 1865 with Daisy and Lincoln and in the present with Cleo and Deacon. The book switches back and forth with a creepy and chilling Gothic atmosphere. Women are disappearing from the area and a legend that seems to parallel these eerie circumstances. In the present day, Cleo Clemmons is hired by grandson of American aristocratic family.

EadieB The Tremblays have hired her to help his matriarchal grandmother face her hoarding in the dilapidated Castle Moreau. But when Cleo uncovers more than just the woman's stashes of collectibles, a century-old mystery of disappearance, insanity, and the dust of the old castle's curse threatens to rise again, and this time, leave no one alive to tell its sordid tale. 13mo
EadieB This book had just the right amount of spookiness and the characters were mysterious enough to send chills down your spine. I enjoyed this read of a house that would not release the women who were disappearing. In the end we learned about all the secrets that Castle Moreau had and I look forward to reading another book by Jamie Jo Wright. If you like books about spooky mansions then you will love this book. 13mo
