The Secret of Oakhurst

Sensible Lysette Bentley's quiet life is suddenly shattered by tragedy. Forced to leave behind the only life she knows, Lysette comes under the care of Count de Barron--whom she knows nothing about. Life becomes filled with social functions, but also with mystery. No one knows anything about the de Barron family or Oakhurst, the very mansion she now inhabits. Weird happenings and new arrivals increase her suspicions. Soon Lysette's very life is endangered by her own curiosity--and by the deadly ties that family and love can doom their victims to.
Will Lysette survive the horror glaring upon her? Will the secret of Oakhurst be revealed? Or shall it continue to encompass Ludgershall in a fog of ignorance?
