Mitchell Manor is a place that holds a lot of secrets.
The Mitchells were one of the most prominent families in the area. In 1843, Theodore Mitchell's family and household staff was found murdered. When Theodore disappeared, rumors began accusing him of the crime. What would cause a normally well-mannered and well-liked individual to completely snap? Over one-hundred years would pass before the true answer to that question is discovered.
Elle Lewis is a novel writer looking for inspiration for her next book. She rented Mitchell Manor in hopes of removing herself from the distractions of the city. As soon as she arrives at the manor, strange events start to happen. Believing it's her imagination, Elle dismisses many of the occurrences. When things start to escalate, Elle can't ignore the manor anymore. She realizes it is her responsibility to find out what really happened the night of the murders.
This book has all the ingredients for a classic ghost story: a haunted house, evil spirits, time travel, and small-town rumors. Along with a little romance and humor, this book gives the reader a little bit of everything.

REVIEW:
I do enjoy some haunted house stories set in small towns, or near them, with some creepy history. I feel like the story started really strong, and I loved so many elements of the beginning.
Elle Lewis, a writer, rents Mitchell Manor to get away for some alone time and inspiration as she works on her next book. There are some weird occurrences, of course, as soon as she arrives. Nothing too drastic, but things begin to get more problematic as the days pass. Of course, she goes in to town to meet the locals (that always adds more questions).
Backstory … we need to know why there are ghosties …. She turns to locals and some snooping to discover the home’s history. In 1843, the successful & well liked, Theodore Mitchell’s family and his whole staff were found murdered at their home, Mitchell Manor. Mitchell himself wasn’t found, but was assumed guilty of the incident.
This was a short and easy read. I think I actually expected a lot more action and spook. I loved the beginning, but think the later part need some work to hold interest and add to the overall haunt atmosphere.
I was provided a complementary digital ARC copy of Mitchell Manor for review purposes. The opinions expressed in this review are my own.
