The Vanishing at Castle Moreau

by Jaime Jo Wright

April 3-28, 2023 Virtual Book Tour

A haunting legend. An ominous curse. A search for a secret buried deep within the castle walls.

In 1870, orphaned Daisy François takes a position as housemaid at a Wisconsin castle to escape the horrors of her past life. There she finds a reclusive and eccentric Gothic authoress, who hides tales more harrowing than the ones in her novels. With women disappearing from the area and a legend that seems to parallel these eerie circumstances, Daisy is thrust into a web that threatens to steal her sanity, if not her life.

In the present day, Cleo Clemmons is hired by the grandson of an American aristocratic family to help his grandmother face her hoarding in the dilapidated Castle Moreau. But when Cleo uncovers more than just the woman’s stash of collectibles, a century-old mystery of disappearance, insanity, and the dust of the old castle’s curse threaten to rise again. This time to leave no one alive to tell the sordid tale.

Award-winning author Jaime Jo Wright seamlessly weaves a dual-time tale of two women who must do all they can to seek the light amidst the darkness shrouding Castle Moreau.

Praise for The Vanishing at Castle Moreau:

“An imaginative and mysterious tale.”

–New York Times bestselling author RACHEL HAUCK

“With real, flawed characters, who grapple with real-life struggles, readers will be drawn into this gripping suspense from the very first page. Good luck putting it down. I couldn’t.”

-LYNETTE EASON, bestselling, award-winning author of the Extreme Measures series

“Wright pens another delightfully creepy tale where nothing is quite as it seems and characters seek freedom from nightmares both real and imagined.”

–Library Journal

“Wright captivates. A thrilling tale. . . . Readers won’t want to put this down.”

–Publishers Weekly

Prepare to clear your schedule or risk ruining plans because once you dive into this novel, you won’t want to come up for air until the final word. A tale told from two different women in two very different times, we’re woven into a world known as Castle Moreau. It’s full of secrets, hidden omens, and indescribable moments that take your breath away.

Both Daisy and Cleo have dark pasts that nip at their heels when they arrive at Castle Moreau. Their journeys are each haunting in a unique way, yet similar at the base. Each character is vivid, drawn before our very eyes as they guide us through the story. While haunting, Jaime Jo Wright intricately places glimmers of hope, love, and redemption for an incredible of light and dark.

This novel pulls hard on your ability to trust that there is more than an outside view of something. It can appear dark and ominous while harboring a safe, serene quality underneath.

My favorite quote from the book: “La beauté existe là où commence l’amour” – Beauty exists where love begins.
