A story within a story, the past and the present, a haunted house, Fiona who at 50 lost her husband, her best friend and her career and who is trying to understand why her mother holds her at arms length and is so angry with her are all important to The Midnight Estate.  But the most important part is the beautiful story told in the mysterious book that Fiona finds. Even though I figured out the secret of the special book I still couldn’t wait to listen and find out the rest of the story.
