Whispering Gables — Sandra Abbott
"I WILL CURSE ANY WHO ARE BORN WITH DARBY BLOOD IN THEIR VEINS!"
Death by suicide to one woman in each generation -- this is the ancient curse that Eleanor Lawrence hears about for the first time while visiting her aunt at Whispering Gables.
At first she scoffs at the old wives' tale. She is the last of the Darby women and she is quite appalled to learn that both her aunt and step-son, Ty, believe the curse to be true -- that it will happen again as it has in the past.
Suddenly, Eleanor's carefree attitude turns to terror during a near brush with death when she is visited by a white-veiled ghost and hears the voices of the dead. Eleanor turns to Ty for help. But the man she has come to love has turned into a brooding stranger who refuses to believe her.
Is she going mad? Is the evil that lurks in the decaying house driving her to suicide? Can she escape before it is too late?
