PRAISE FOR A.M. DAVIS
“The Mourning of Leone Manor is a beautifully woven Gothic mystery. This book took me by the hand and led me down darkened corridors where I had no idea where I would end up…”
L.V. RUSSELL, AUTHOR OF THE QUIET STILLNESS OF EMPTY HOUSES
“A.M. Davis has woven a lush and terrifying tale, set against a perfectly desolate backdrop. Remi and Benoit are beautifully flawed characters who, despite their foibles, seem destined for one another. I couldn’t stop turning the pages until the final terrifying twist!”
LILLAH LAWSON, AUTHOR OF MONARCHS UNDER THE SASSAFRAS TREE
THE MOURNING OF LEONE MANOR
