The Deed in the Attic

Annie Dawson is accustomed to dealing with old houses. She has spent nearly two years trying to patch up Grey Gables, the home of her beloved grandmother, Betsy Holden. Betsy left her entire estate to Annie, but she also died leaving a string of mysteries buried in the cavernous attic of Grey Gables. This secret, however, is more than Annie wants to deal with. A trunk needed for storing her needlecraft supplies opens a door she comes to wish she had left locked away in the attic. Annie discovers a deed to an old home—Fairview—an estate that has fallen into decay and disrepair. Annie’s despair begins with the knowledge that her grandmother hid ownership of the old home from her. Why? Were the ghosts rumored to haunt Fairview real? Or was there a sinister secret behind the mystery and Betsy’s involvement? At first, Annie keeps the secret of the deed in the attic—and her ownership of Fairview—from her friends in the Hook and Needle Club. But when the truth comes out, the club joins forces to help Annie get to the bottom of this latest in a long line of mysteries. Their first task is a ghost-busting nighttime trek to Fairview. But it’s away from the “haunted” house that the ghosts of the original owners of Fairview call out to Annie. How were they connected with her aging grandmother? Will Annie ever discover the key that will unlock the mystery? Join Annie and her friends in the Hook and Needle Club as they track down the “ghoulies and ghosties and things that go bump in the night.” It’s always a wild ride when these crafty ladies get together!
