\"Magnifying<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Thunder! Lightning!
Romance!
Murder? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As protector of a tiny gasket universe, Haley expects her school break away at Willowweep Manor to be broodingly romantic with Montague, as always.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the Black teen arrives as refugees from another gasket universe in peril pop through a portal – not characters from a gothic romance at all!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New rooms suddenly appear in the Manor, the new dog is goofy, Miss Meadowsweet keeps talking about odd things that happened in her village, and the Colonel is stabbed – they’re from the murder mystery genre!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No police in the Manor so the Willowweepers must learn the rules of murder mysteries and investigate, not quite trusting any of the newcomers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Someone goes missing, while others barely escape “accidents” with their lives!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who is the killer – the capable young lady? The village spinster? The eccentric young man? The butler? Surely not the dog?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can our plucky heroine reinvent herself in time to save Willowweep Manor once again?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can enjoy Nefarious Nights<\/em> without having read The Dire Days of Willowweep Manor<\/em> (I recommend! https:\/\/booksyalove.com\/?p=12249<\/a>), but knowing the origin story makes this madcap adventure even more fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Find both Willowweep Manor volumes at your local library https:\/\/search.worldcat.org\/libraries<\/a> or independent bookstore https:\/\/www.indiebound.org\/indie-store-finder<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
