The Ghost Orchid by Carol Goodman
For more than a hundred years, creative souls have traveled to the Bosco estate to live and work under its captivating spell. Novelist Ellis Brooks is writing a book based on the dark events that took place during the summer of 1893. All she knows is that the wealthy Milo Latham brought in a psychic medium to help his wife contact their three dead children--only to have the seance turn deadly, and his remaining child abducted. As Ellis uncovers the Latham family's dark secrets, a series of bizarre accidents occur. The lines between past and present, living and dead blur, until the tangled truth threatens to ensnare all it touches.
