Don't let this intriguing cover fool you - this is not a Regency mystery but something far more captivating!

The Lady in Residence is a dual timeline novel featuring the real historic Menger Hotel in San Antonio, Texas. In 1915, Hedda Krause seeks refuge at the Menger after her husband dies and her stepchildren expel her from the family and her stately home. Several shocking events happen to Hedda, and her stability and honesty are seriously questioned.

In 2017, Dini Blackstone, a fifth generation magician, performs at parties and leads San Antonio ghost tours. She's fascinated with the legend of Hedda Krause and has devoted years to researching her. When Dini meets someone with a direct connection to Hedda's legend, the pieces of the story slowly come together.

This novel is the first in the Doors to the Past series. I received a complimentary copy of this book from Barbour Publishing and was under no obligation to post a review.
