Windwood Farm (Taryn's Camera #1)

Windwood Farm has a terrible secret–one that's been buried for more than 75 years...Thirty year old Taryn Magill has spent her professional life exploring historical buildings and abandoned homes. She uses her camera and oil paints to recreate the once beloved and grand structures of yesterday for her clients, showing them how the buildings would have appeared in their prime. With her latest assignment at Windwood Farm, however, she may have bitten off more than she can chew.

Commissioned by the Stokes County Historical Society to paint the once grand stone house before a development company turns the surrounding farm into a subdivision, the job starts like any other. Soon, however, as Taryn becomes involved in the photographing and painting of the house, unusual occurrences begin to happen.

For the first time ever, when Taryn looks through her camera, she sees more than decay and empty rooms; she’s finally able to see the past come alive as the formerly grand house begins to fill with furniture and belongings before her very eyes.

Every old house is supposed to be haunted, but this one seems to take the cake. Why does the young woman weep from the upstairs bedroom? Why is the sense of evil so strong that even vandals have stayed away for more than 50 years? What happened to the young neighbor who disappeared in the 1920s and does his disappearance have anything to do with the house’s mysteries?

More importantly, will Taryn herself be able to escape with her sanity and life before the house comes down? Because now it seems like someone is trying to kill her! Using what her camera reveals to her and her wits, she’ll try to unravel the mysteries of the farm and get out before it’s too late
