Synopsis

In the aftermath of a tumultuous year, Fiona Winslow finds solace in the decaying grandeur of Wurimbirra, the rambling family estate she once called home. Intent on restoring it, she discovers the keys to more than just the dilapidated mansion—beneath the crumbling plaster and dust are secrets that have been buried for a generation.

When a curious book, The Midnight Estate, catches her attention in her late uncle’s library, Fiona is plunged into a tale that mirrors her own—a story of love, loss and betrayal. But as the lines between fiction and reality blur, Fiona must ask herself: Is the true mystery the one hidden within the walls of her ancestral home, or is it within the pages of a book that chose her as much as she chose it?

Told in a dual narrative and set against the Gothic backdrop of Wurimbirra, Kelly Rimmer, bestselling author of The Things We Cannot Say, weaves an intricate and compelling tale, inviting readers into the heart of a family’s deepest secrets with an absorbing book-within-a-book mystery.

I wanted to read this book mainly out of my deep and undying love for Kelly Rimmer’s novel, The Things We Cannot Say. The blurb didn’t grab my attention but I was lured in with the hope of another gut punching novel by the queen of historical fiction! I have to say, I really enjoyed this book but the......more

Goodreads review by Nicole on April 17, 2025

Loved this! A story within a story is always fun. Not quite a metafiction, but some elements. Just enough spooky scenes to keep me turning pages but nothing too crazy. I especially enjoyed the narrators reflection on love and how it can be shown in quiet and unexpected ways. Was provided an E-ARC on......more

Thank you to HTP Books/Mira for providing me with a gifted ebook copy of The Midnight Estate through NetGalley. All opinions are my own. In The Midnight Estate, Rimmer masterfully weaves a story within a story, and I was completely absorbed by this book. The book is set in the US and Australia and co......more
