The Marly Stones — Dorinda Kamm

Bodllandor..

a house of gray stones and turrets and mullioned windows set…in the middle of nowhere. Medieval in furnishings, diabolical in atmosphere. Janet, trying to affect a reconciliation with her husband after he has been summoned home to see his dying father, is just as shocked by the house as it occupants are with her. Because Morgan has not returned, and they were never informed of his marriage.

In her desperation to wait for Morgan and learn of his safety, Janet reluctantly accepts the hospitality of his family…his brother Edward, with whom he feuded years before; his elegant mother, Victoria; his sinister sister-in-law, Emily; and the dying man himself, Craddock, who in his lucid moments summons Janet to his bedside in the attic room where the family would seem to be keeping him a prisoner in his own home.

But Craddock Llandor is not the only prisoner in the majestic mansion. For Janet quickly realizes she shan't be allowed to leave either. With no link to the outside world save the handsome town constable, GlenNdon Carmaeradge, Janet fears that was the condition of the old man worsens, the end of her life will be near, too. And the only way she can escape the madness at Bodllandor is by unscrambling and ancient riddle -- THE SECRET OF THE MARLY STONES...
