The Curse of Moonseed Manor by D. Lieber is an adult mystery novel following Wren who just got a job at Moonseed Manor as a photographer as the manor is becoming a hotel and it might just be haunted. I received a copy of the book from the author in exchange for a review and will also include the full blurb and a link to purchase at the end of this review.
Wren is a down on her luck young woman who comes across an add to work at Moonseed Manor as a photographer and decides to give it a shot. When she arrives she meets all the others working there including the mysterious owner Mr. William Courtland Bennings and the sexy caretaker Watt. However, it is clear that things are different here and there are rumors that the manor is haunted.
While this is not a long book over all its a gothic mystery is the same vain as Rebecca that kept me guessing until the end. What is the owners back story? Are the ghost real? And how is the sexy caretake Watt involved. I greatly enjoyed this book and was not expecting what happens in the end and I feel like this is a great book for those who enjoy gothic mysteries.
