The Whispering Echo

by Miriam MacGregor

Lynn Fendalton was little more than a baby when her father was killed in a tractor accident on his sheep station, Rosswood, on the east coast of New Zealand's North Island. After the tragedy her mother returned to her own people in England. For twenty years the Rosswood homestead stood empty, while the station was run by managers employed by her father's trustee. Against the advice of the trustee Lynn refused to sell Rosswood until she had returned to New Zealand to see her inheritance. The cool reception from her station manager and the open hostility of his housekeeper came as a shock. The house was dilapidated, and peopled by memories of those who had gone. But why should these whispering echoes from the past place Lynn's life in danger?
