Review: ‘On The Cliffs Of Foxglove Manor’

1885. 
Adria Fontaine has been sent to recover goods her father pirated on the Great Lakes during the war. But when she arrives at Foxglove Manor–a stone house on a cliff overlooking Lake Superior–Adria senses wickedness hovering over the property. The mistress of Foxglove is an eccentric and seemingly cruel old woman who has filled her house with dangerous secrets, ones that may cost Adria her life. 

Present day. 
Kailey Gibson is a new nurse’s aide at a senior home in a renovated old stone manor. Kidnapped as a child, she has nothing but locked-up memories of secrets and death, overshadowed by the chilling promise from her abductors that they would return. When the residents of Foxglove start sharing stories of whispers in the night, hidden treasure, and a love willing to kill, it becomes clear this ho

‘Ain’t nothing lives long here at Foxglove Manor.’

Jaime Jo Wright once again employs her trademark time slip to to plunge her readers into a gothic tale that will grip your attention from the very first paragraph and doesn’t let go until the last page is turned.

1885. Alexandria Fontaine is sent to Foxglove Manor by her hateful father to find his gold. Foxglove Manor is set on a cliff overlooking Lake Superior. Adria feels only desperate evil here, a house chock full of secrets. And strangers. She suspects everything here and feels no peace at all.

‘Being afraid just came with the territory of living in Foxglove Manor.’

Present Day. Kailey Gibson goes to work at Foxglove Manor and is given permission to bring her older autistic brother with her. The brother who writes down series of letters that puzzle her and which seem to have something to do with the creepiness of Foxglove Manor. She, too, feels the overpowering secrets of the place.

Creepy in all the best ways, Foxglove Manor holds mysteries that will hold two women captive and they must risk everything to destroy the demons of the past. Jaime Joe Wright is in her element here. Her vivid descriptions of everything plops the reader right down into the middle of the story and they are not let go! This one held me totally enthralled all the way through. I highly recommend this one.
