The Midnight Estate: A New Novel from the Author of The Things We Cannot Say

Kate Morton’s Homecoming meets Rachel Hawkins’ The Heiress when the mystery surrounding the disappearance of a California couple is revived fifty years later by clues found in a book discovered in a mysterious old Australian estate.

In the aftermath of a tumultuous year, Fiona Winslow finds solace in the decaying grandeur of Wurimbirra, the rambling family estate on the east coast of Australia she once called home. Intent on restoring it, she discovers the keys to more than just the dilapidated mansion—beneath the crumbling plaster and dust are secrets that have been buried for a generation. When a mis-shelved book, The Midnight Estate, catches her attention in her late uncle's library, Fiona is plunged into a tale that mirrors her own—a story of love, loss, and betrayal. But as the lines between fiction and reality blur, Fiona must ask herself: is the true mystery the one hidden within the walls of her ancestral home, or is it within the pages of a book that chose her as much as she chose it? Told across dual timelines and set against the Gothic backdrop of Wurimbirra, The Midnight Estate weaves a tale as intricate and haunting as Kate Morton's Homecoming, inviting readers into the heart of a family's darkest secrets with an absorbing book-within-a-book mystery.
