Sinossi

The Scottish Highlands, 1893. Ingrid Barker arrives back at Strathbairn to attend the funeral of her old employer, Charles McCleod.
 
Every bone in Ingrid's body screams for her to leave, and as she walks from the graveside, she can’t shake the suspicion that Charles was murdered. As she hurries to uncover the truth and get away from Strathbairn, another murder takes place - one that traps her in the very place she is desperate to escape from.
 
Running out of time and clues, can Ingrid evade the truth of that terrible night up at the abbey the last time she was here, and can she solve the mystery of Charles’ death before his ghost does away with her?
 
An unputdownable gothic mystery laced with dark family secrets, SECRETS TAKEN TO THE GRAVE is the second book in the Strathbrain Trilogy series of historical mystery novels by Isobel Blackthorn.

    This collection of three ghost stories, by master of the genre M. R. James, first appeared in "A Warning to the Curious" published in 1925. James wrote "The Haunted Dolls' House" in 1923 on a commission from Queen Mary who wanted miniature books from the most popular writers of the day to include in the library of her doll's house at Windsor Castle. Antique dealer Mr. Chittenden has an exquisite example of a doll's house in his shop. After a little haggling he manages to offload it onto one of his regular customers, a collector called Mr. Dillet. It becomes abundantly clear that Chittenden and his wife are all too glad to see the back of it, as whosoever owns the dolls' house is subject to supernatural visions every morning at one o'clock. Also included in this collection are "An Evening's Entertainment" and "A Neighbour's Landmark".

    Be Strong. Be Fierce. Be Immortal. 
    That’s what the handsome, athletic stranger promised when he invited Crystal Lunsford to his high-end gym, Mount Olympus, known for its signature sports drink, Ambrosia—a drink that offers an intoxicating surge of energy and an obsession with working out. It’s exactly the kind of escape Crystal craves to outrun her dark spiral of self-destruction and the memory of her ex Jace’s cruel, echoing taunts. Jace is dead, but his hateful words—"Fat pig. Fat pig.”—still claw at her mind. 
    But beneath the gym’s glossy exterior lies a darkness she can’t ignore. Mount Olympus seems too perfect to be real—and maybe it is. Members are behaving oddly. Vanishing. Her memories are fading and her addiction is spiraling out of control. With her life—and her humanity—at stake, can Crystal triumph over her inner demons in order to escape the grip of Mount Olympus—or will she lose more than just weight? 
    This new edition of Ambrosia includes "Through a Glass, Darkly," a bonus story that bridges the gap to its upcoming sequel. Discover the chilling origins of the next antagonist and the obsession that will shape the darkness to come.
