Overview

Come for the memories. Stay for the murder... Little North Island, off the coast of Maine, is so beautiful it could be a postcard. Organist Willow Stone cherishes her memories of childhood summers spent on the island with her godmother Sue... even though her visits ended abruptly, and she hasn't seen or heard from her godmother in over fifteen years. Until a letter from Sue-and word of Sue's death-brings Willow back to the picturesque island. The islanders rarely mention Sue without also bringing up Cameron House, and the controversy around Sue's unexpected inheritance of the sprawling mansion. When Willow overhears someone threatening the next heir to the property, she starts to question whether Sue's death was really an accident, and can't help but wonder whether someone on this sleepy island is willing to stop at nothing-even murder-to claim Cameron House for their own. Through Willow's eyes, as well as those of others on the island, a mystery unfolds that keeps drawing Willow back to Cameron House and the very real ghosts that walk its corridors.
