Westchester County, NY, February 1934. Seeking a fresh start, Clara Dawson accepts a position at Sablehurst Manor, assisting her writer friend Vincent as he documents the estate’s infamous haunting. Ten years earlier, a young woman drowned in the manor’s pond, and now her presence is said to linger on the property.

Her death was ruled an accident. But in the months leading up to it, rumors spread through the town of a darkness within her, and some even whispered of demonic possession.

The deeper Clara, Vincent, and Tuck dig into the young woman’s final months, the less certain the verdict becomes. Was the drowning an accident? A desperate act? Or something far more deliberate?

A BITTER BETRAYAL is the third novel in the Clara Dawson gothic paranormal mystery series. Though each mystery stands alone, this book contains spoilers for earlier installments. For the best experience, read in order.
