Next date: Monday, 25 August 2025 | 10:30 AM

About The Midnight Estate:

In the aftermath of a tumultuous year, Fiona Winslow finds solace in the decaying grandeur of Wirimbura, the rambling family estate. Intent on restoring it - despite her mother's objections - she discovers the keys to more than just the dilapidated country mansion. Beneath the crumbling plaster are secrets that have been buried for a generation.

When a book, The Midnight Estate, catches her attention, Fiona is plunged into a tale that mirrors her own life - a story of love, loss and betrayal. She dismisses the similarities as coincidence, but as she's drawn deeper into the story, the lines between fiction and reality blur, and Fiona must ask herself: how well does she know her family?

A gothic epic spanning generations, Kelly Rimmer weaves a tale as immersive as Kate Morton's Homecoming, inviting readers into the heart of a family's darkest secrets with an absorbing book-within-a-book mystery.
