The Mystery of the Cursed Estate
(2025)(The sixth book in the Artifacts and Apparitions series)
A novel by Tammy Beck
Tessa and Piper have seen their fair share of eerie happenings in Cedarwood Hollow, but nothing quite like this. When they’re called to appraise a collection of antiques at Blackthorn Manor, they find themselves caught in a sinister family mystery. The Blackthorn Curse has returned—at least, that’s what Clara Blackthorn believes when her uncle, Gideon, ages decades overnight after a chilling encounter with the Ghost of Elias Blackthorn.
As ghostly whispers echo through the halls and an altered portrait of Elias seems to decay before their very eyes, the past reaches out with icy fingers. But Tessa and Piper aren’t convinced it’s supernatural—especially when Detective Jake Harland arrives, skeptical as ever, and starts poking holes in the legend. With Murphy, their ever-opinionated parrot, squawking eerie warnings, they dig into the history of Blackthorn Manor—and uncover a trail of deception leading straight to Clara’s family lawyer, Reginald Drake.
But someone is determined to keep the truth buried. As another dose of tea is prepared for Gideon, Tessa and Piper set a trap of their own. What they uncover is a twisted plot of drugged deception, forged curses, and an inheritance scheme decades in the making. The so-called ghost is no specter—it’s a man desperate to steal the Blackthorn fortune.
Welcome back to Cedarwood Hollow, where deception is an art… and every ghost story has a hidden truth.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
