Book Description
Writing as John Esteven Dr. Miles Le Breton is called to the remote mountain home of the Dinsmore family in order to look into the mysterious attempts on the life of an old college friend. As the car lurches over the treacherous road leading to the Dinsmore residence, the fall breeze turns into a cold winter wind and Dr. Le Breton begins to feel a hostile and malevolent presence about to engulf him. Dr. Le Breton's well-liked and good-tempered friend, Fred Morrison is a guest at the Dinsmore home and is engaged to marry Deborah Dinsmore, who along with her two brothers still live in the home of their father, Cyrus Dinsmore, now dead two years. According to the local buzz, Cyrus Dinsmore tortured his wife and crippled his son and is suspected of more than one murder. "A devil seeped in killer's blood" they say ― blood that still runs in the veins of the Dinsmore children. As a psychiatrist and a criminologist, Dr. Le Breton is more than qualified to investigate the troubled and puzzling Dinsmore family, but as clues and bodies stack up, the life he is most desperate to save may be his own. Satisfyingly eerie and complete with a damp and decaying old house, a cavernous attic, a bottomless pond, a headless something that crawls around at night, and clues cleverly stitched into a lady's knitting, By Night At Dinsmore a tense and brooding 1930s melodrama of murder and horror worthy of a midnight read by candlelight with the wind howling and the shutters flapping.
