About this book:

Return to Ivy Manor, a place Clara swore she’d left behind, when a chilling phone call reveals her mother has vanished. This isn't a simple disappearance; Ivy Manor holds generations of secrets, and Clara's mother, Eleanor Bennett, has left a cryptic trail meant only for her daughter. As Clara delves into the sprawling estate's dusty archives and hidden passages, she uncovers a labyrinth of betrayal, a long-lost diary hinting at a vanished gardener's son, and a coded message pointing to a hidden lineage that threatens the very foundation of the powerful Bennett family.

Clara's investigation quickly draws her into a perilous game of cat and mouse, confronting manipulative staff, suspicious relatives, and the menacing presence of a distant cousin, Arthur Finch, who harbors his own vested interest in the manor's past. Each clue unveils a deeper layer of deception, culminating in the shocking discovery of Elias Bennett's "Final Testament"—a document that could unravel the family's illicit fortune and expose a centuries-old fraud. But as Clara inches closer to the truth, she realizes she is not alone in her pursuit, and that the "watchers"—a shadowy network determined to keep the past buried—are closing in. "Beneath the Ivy Manor" is a gripping mystery of legacy, betrayal, and the enduring power of truth, where every shadow holds a secret and every revelation comes at a deadly cost.
