For eleven years, night clerk Walter Marsh has known every creak, draft, and shadow of the Ashby Grand. So when furniture begins to move on its own, a freezing presence gathers outside Room 14, and a long-missing woman’s name surfaces in the hotel’s forgotten records, Walter realizes the building is not merely old—it is trying to tell him something. As a mysterious guest arrives, a hidden inheritance comes to light, and the hotel’s elegant facade begins to crack, Walter is drawn into a haunting rooted in betrayal, silence, and a crime buried for decades behind polished wood and locked doors. Atmospheric, intelligent, and deeply eerie, The Ashby Grand is a gothic ghost story about the dead who refuse to be erased—and the living who must finally listen.
Fiona Mapleton writes paranormal cozy mysteries that celebrate found family, impossible love, and protagonists who solve the unsolvable. The Thornfield Hollow Mysteries feature Mara Westfield, a blind medium who teams up with the ghost of a 1952 murder victim to solve cold cases and catch killers. When not writing about ghosts and small-town secrets, Fiona can be found enjoying her two rough collies, drinking too much coffee, and plotting the perfect murder (on paper, of course).View all by Fiona Mapleton
