What Happened at the Abbey by Isobel Blackthorn
Ingrid Barker’s life has taken a horrible turn. Having grown up in comfort and love, her life is now filled with horror, hate and torture. The only way to gain freedom for herself and her daughter Susan, is to escape the clutches of her husband and run far, far away. Run towards familiarity by returning to a place close to where she grew up – The Scottish Highlands. Alas, Ingrid just steps right out of the frying pan and into the fire. What Happened at the Abbey by Isobel Blackthorn is a gripping gothic tale full of sinister suspense, deadly drama and mystery, mystery, mystery. Posing as a widow, Ingrid seeks refuge by applying to work as a housekeeper in the McCleod family home – Strathbairn . A house so sinister that you would never catch me entering it in this century, forget in the 19 th century. Isolated, set amongst a stark landscape, surrounded by decrepit ruins, howling winds and the ever mysterious bog with its swirling mists that call out to you on moonlit nights.
