A Darker Shade (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781941097557)

What is haunting young Liza Prescott?

Molly Allworth has been in service since leaving college when her mother died. Still, her situation is getting desperate and when the agency offers her a position that sounds too good to be true, she cannot resist.

Soon, she finds herself in a remote house in Maine, caring for a little girl who swore she saw her mother's ghost...before she stopped speaking entirely. Nathaniel Prescott, the child's father, thinks any belief in the supernatural is absurdly credulous. Molly's history and heritage, however, have given her a wider view.

There's a significant bonus for Molly if she lasts the year. But as winter closes in and mysterious, often creepy events begin to occur, even her growing affection for Nathaniel and Liza may not be enough to make her stay.
