A raging storm. A haunted cottage. A race against time to escape a ghost's final curse.

Desperate for a break from the relentless horrors of Candleward, Mercy Willow takes on what should be a simple job ? check in on a crumbling rural property and report back. But as the worst storm in living memory crashes into Cornwall, Mercy finds herself stranded at Clute Cottage... and something inside is already waiting for her.

The signs are subtle at first ? suitcases that won't stay where they're left, an eerie stain shaped like a person on the ceiling, and an old armchair that creaks with invisible weight. But Mercy knows the signs of a haunting, and Clute Cottage has all the hallmarks of a place gripped by an ancient, unresolved tragedy.

As the storm worsens and the walls begin to buckle, Mercy uncovers a chilling history buried beneath years of silence. But someone ? or something ? wants the truth to stay hidden. And if Mercy can't unravel the cottage's dark past in time, she might become part of it... forever.

The Curse of Clute Cottage is the fourth book in the Mercy Willow series, about a haunted estate agent in rural Cornwall who can speak to the dead. Start at book one for the full story. This book ends on a cliffhanger.
