The Bookshop of 99 Doors
In 1888, Minnie Tipton moves into a Pennsylvania mansion said to be haunted by a murderous Civil War captain and becomes convinced its rumored hundredth door may explain her father's worsening visions. In the present, Triss Bellamy takes a dream job managing the bookshop in the same mansion-turned-museum just as her family's paranormal-investigation business arrives to stir up the legends she wanted to escape. When her brother begins experiencing disturbing symptoms, Triss must investigate the house rather than dismiss its stories. This dual-time Gothic suspense combines books, a hidden-door mystery, Civil War trauma, ghost lore, and a faith-grounded search for the human truth beneath supernatural explanations.
