A Brief Synopsis of The Curse of Malenfer Manor:

Heirs to the Malenfer estate are succumbing to terrible ends – but is it a supernatural legacy, or something more human? Irish mercenary Dermot Ward retreats to Paris after World War I, where he drinks to forget the death of his comrade, Arthur Malenfer. But Arthur has not forgotten Dermot. Dead but not departed, Arthur has unfinished business and needs the help of the living. Upon his arrival at Malenfer Manor, Dermot is embroiled in a mystery of murder, succession, and ambition… and a curse.

About the Author:

Iain is a writer of gothic mysteries. He was born and raised in Scotland, where he studied History and Geography at the University of Glasgow. The World Wars left Iain’s family with generations of widows. As a result, Iain has always been interested in the tangible effects of history on family dynamics and in the power of narrative to awaken those long dead. For the characters in The Curse of Malenfer Manor, he drew on childhood reminiscences and verbal family history–though he hastens to add that his family had barely a penny, far less a manor, and any ghosts dwelt only in memory. He lives in Vancouver, Canada, with his wife and two children.

What Readers Are Saying About The Curse of Malenfer Manor:

“McChesney is excellent at painting a picture with words. His characters are lively and vivid and at times even villainous. While this book does have paranormal activity it isn’t weighed down with superfluous fluff that makes it seem unrealistic.” –Amazon Reviewer

“There is the old manor house, dark family secrets and relationships, a young women in danger, and a ghost story, plus a murder mystery and romance!!! Terrific writing! This author knows how to weave a tale, let me tell you.” –Amazon Reviewer

“It just feels complete to me. All the story lines are wrapped up at the end, leaving you feeling satisfied. I saw a description in a review recently that this was sort of a ghostly French Downton Abbey. I would go a little further and say a French Downton Abbey that meets the creepiness of The Woman in Black.” –Michele Breaux, Book Geeks United blog
