Synopsis

A haunting legend. An ominous curse. A search for a secret buried deep within the castle walls.

In 1870, orphaned Daisy François 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.

Goodreads review by Caitlin

The Vanishing at Castle Moreau is a spooky, engaging, and compelling read. The themes of finding healing from past traumas and being a safe place for those who have been wronged was so good. Finding important and relevant themes like that in books is something I admire and respect so much—and someth......more

4 ½ stars 🌟 I loved the setting and the past timeline was so atmospheric! I wish the whole book had been set in the past timeline with Lincoln, Daisy, and the creepy horror novelist. I definitely needed more scenes with Daisy and Lincoln together and getting to know each other.......more
