"The House of Whispers" by William Le Queux is a turn-of-the-century mystery set within the imposing Glencardine Castle in the Scottish Highlands.

We see the trials of Gabrielle as she is torn between her commitment to her father and her own ambitions. The Heyburn home is anything but safe, as secrets seem to lurk around every corner, and the enigmatic interactions between Gabrielle, her stepmother, and the mysterious James Flockart hint at potential threats. Gabrielle seeks to protect her father from her growing fears, while the author weaves a tale of love, sacrifice, loyalty, and the specter of tragedy.
