Murkmere by Patricia Elliott6/30/2023 “You might as well pack up your things again and go home.”Īggie-as Agnes was fondly called in the book-soon learns that life at the manor is not quite what she had imagined. “If you think you’re to be my companion, you’re mistaken,” she announced. I was fastening the latch on the window again when the door burst open and a girl marched in. She also hopes that she would learn something about her deceased mother who used to work at Murkmere before Agnes was born. Agnes not only wants to make her life better by working at the manor. Murkmere tells the story of fifteen-year-old Agnes Cotter who leaves her village and travels to Murkmere manor where she is to become a lady’s companion to Miss Leah, the Master’s ward. (Note: Bargain-priced books always win.) Book photo taken by me. The book cover and the synopsis on the front jacket flap of the book caught my attention so I grabbed it from one of the shelves in Book Off San Diego. Today’s post for our theme on Monsters, Beasts, and Chimeras features Murkmere, the first of two books by Patricia Elliott in her Murkmere Hall series.
