About this audiobook
Every house keeps secrets.
Mourningford Hall has been keeping them for centuries.
Carter, the Hall's meticulous butler, believes he understands every corridor, every ritual, and every carefully observed tradition. Then an unexpected visitor arrives, an old woman with impossible eyes and a message that should never have been delivered.
By the following morning, someone will be dead.
As familiar routines fracture and quiet certainties unravel, Carter finds himself drawn toward mysteries buried deep within the Hall's foundations. Strange occurrences become impossible to ignore. Shadows linger where none should exist. Memories refuse to stay buried, and every answer uncovers an even older question.
A Dark & Crooked Death is a haunting gothic mystery about grief, memory, and the moment an ordinary man discovers that the house he serves has been watching him all along. The first doorway into the Dark & Crooked Continuum, where every ending is the beginning of something far stranger.
