Her attention is then caught by a curious book in her late uncle’s library\, The Midnight Estate\, which plunges her into a tale that eerily mirrors her own\, a story of love\, loss\, and betrayal. Rimmer masterfully weaves a dual narrative and a book-within-a-book mystery\, forcing Fiona to question if the true mystery lies within the walls of her ancestral home or within the pages of the book that seems to have chosen her. \nAbout the Author\nKelly Rimmer is the worldwide bestselling Australian author of historical and contemporary fiction\, including the New York Times bestsellers The Things We Cannot Say and The Warsaw Orphan. Her emotionally compelling novels have sold millions of copies and have been translated into dozens of languages around the world.
