Wendy Webb knew from the minute she read A Wrinkle in Time at age eleven that she was destined to be a writer. “Tantalizing… could well be played on a Clue game board, with macabre crimes, inexplicable disappearances, and enough eerie suspense to drive one mad.” - Minneapolis Star Tribune As the chilling mysteries of Cliffside Manor unravel and the eerie sins of the past are revealed, Eleanor must fight to save the fellows-and herself-from sinister forces.

When Eleanor Harper becomes the director of an acclaimed artists’ retreat, she knows nothing of Cliffside Manor’s dark past as a tuberculosis sanatorium, a “waiting room for death.” After years of covering murder and violence as a crime reporter, Eleanor hopes that being around artists and writers in this new job will be a peaceful retreat for her as much as for them.īut from her first fog-filled moments on the manor’s grounds, Eleanor is gripped by a sense of impending doom and realizes there’s more to the institution than its reputation of being a haven for creativity. Listed in the Visual Arts category on Art In Fiction, The End of Temperance Dare (2017) is a thriller by Wendy Webb.
