Publisher's Description
The manor's rumored one-hundredth door may conceal secrets hidden as deep as the estate's bookshelves extend high . . . but the haunted past has a way of ensnaring curious souls. In 1888, Minnie Tipton finds herself beset by the dark superstitions that envelop the Pennsylvania mansion her father bought. Convinced the vengeful spirit of a Civil War captain haunts the house and worried by her father's rapidly worsening illness, Minnie delves into the home's fraught past in an effort to bring him peace. Yet the lingering impact of the war and the gruesome tale of murder she uncovers only foster more fear and threaten to unravel Minnie's own sanity. In the present day, Triss Bellamy eagerly steps into the role of bookshop manager in the mansion-turned-museum boasting ninety-nine doors. But Triss's dream job turns into a nightmare when havoc breaks loose with the arrival of her brother's team of self-proclaimed paranormal investigators. Their determination to find a rumored one-hundredth door--a dangerous portal to the madness long said to plague the mansion--results in calamity, leaving Triss no choice but to hunt down the truth or watch her brother slip forever beyond her reach. An atmospheric dual-time Gothic suspense masterfully penned by acclaimed author Jaime Jo Wright with themes of a Civil War-era ghost, a possible hidden door, and unexplained mysteries at a historic mansion's bookshop with a troubled past.

“I couldn’t put this book down. Wright’s storytelling held me captive, weaving the supernatural and the sacred into an atmospheric, twisty tale of Gothic mystery and faith-filled hope. Readers will find themselves creeping down shadowed hallways in search of long-lost secrets—and reluctant to leave once they’re found.”
“Strap in tight for this one! The Bookshop of 99 Doors has it all—a haunting atmosphere, dual timelines that snap together with shocking precision, and characters you feel in your bones. It’s part ghost story, part historical mystery, and all heart. Jaime Jo Wright delivers another knockout, this time daring to ask the question: Should every door with a secret be explored . . . or are some better left unopened? The past doesn’t rest in this one, and neither will you until you turn the final page.”
