Her throat tight with emotion, Carragh lay the page down gently on the bed without looking at the photocopies. She knew about sadness, she knew about untimely death, she knew about unfinished business…but this was a voice speaking from the grave. She didn’t know how close to his fiftieth birthday Cillian Gallagher had died, but clearly he had never made it to the first clue of his wife’s whimsical fantasy of a gift. Carragh was interested in Victorian violence and its aftermath. But there was more recent violence here, the kind that still wreaked its way amongst the living, leaving behind children damaged by early grief and fear. If she had known that searching for Evan Chase’s lost manuscript would entwine her in the lives of those Gallaghers still living—

Her native honesty brought that sentimental train of thought to an abrupt end. Even if she had known, she would still have gone looking. For her, there was something talismanic about the lost Darkling Bride story. And for certain the castle seemed interested in her search. The castle—or someone in it. With the lights back on, Carragh knew her sensitivity to the possibility of spirits had as much to do with her dislike of darkness as any actual direction from the beyond.

If the beyond were going to speak to her, then why would it be in the voices of strangers and not that of the woman whose death was so intimately tangled with her own early life? Was that why she was so stubbornly involved in this house and this search? Because if she was going to hear the voices of the dead, better those of strangers than her own?
