La doncella (Los misterios de Eversand, 1)

Birdie Baker, a college student with no financial resources, finds a job opening as a lady’s maid for an elderly woman living in Rhode Island. In the middle of January, she arrives at Eversand Hall—a mansion with an old-fashioned charm, situated on a peninsula where a perpetual spring seems to reign. It is the stronghold of the Rosemores, a powerful and insular dynasty belonging to the old American aristocracy. But Birdie soon begins to suspect that she was not hired merely to serve as a companion; rather, she has been brought in to be the "next on the list"—the latest in a long line of young women drawn to the mansion like moths to a carnivorous plant. By answering that advertisement, has she signed her own death warrant?
