The Widow's Glass: A Hollowmere Hallowe'en
Hollowmere Hall on the Yorkshire moors, All Hallows' Eve 1891
The Crime
The new Lord Hollowmere is hosting a Hallowe'en séance to make a 'ghost' bless his sale of the family hall to a soap magnate. At the séance he raises his chalice to the spirits, drinks, and topples into the great mirror called the Widow's Glass. A storm has washed out the moor bridge. Six guests. Six secrets. One of them is a killer.
