Welcome to Victoria Town, Virginia, where murder meets Victoriana.

The Halloween Masquerade Ball in Victoria Town, Va. has become legendary. People attend it from all across the country. Viv Barton throws herself into the fray by volunteering to lead games in the "Mirror Room" of the old Victorian Mansion, Gaylord Hall. A woman dressed in widow regalia catches Viv's attention and after her game duties, she motions to Viv to follow her. She's led down the snaking halls, through the ballroom, and onto the veranda, where the woman disappears and leaves a dead body in her wake.

Viv's friend Irene is a suspect and the clues keeping piling up, even though Viv knows she didn't kill the man. Viv and her Aunt Libby work together to prove Irene's innocence, unearthing clues, secrets, and deadly obsessions, along the way—proving that Victorian Town history isn't always what it seems.
