Haunted Towns, Hidden Portals, and a Family's Quest: "The Roses of Port Townsend" Blends Mystery, Magic, and Motherhood
From acclaimed author Ethel Steinmetz Marmont comes a genre-blending fantasy that invites readers into a world of eerie secrets, magical produce, and portals to the unknown. The Roses of Port Townsend is a richly imagined supernatural mystery that follows a mother's determination to protect her children, and possibly uncover the fate of her missing husband.
When Mandy Rose, an elementary school teacher and mother of two, loses her job, she is forced to take the only available teaching position in the picturesque yet notoriously haunted village of Port Townsend. Still reeling from her husband Rick's unexplained disappearance, Mandy packs up her boys and two loyal dogs, moving them into a charming but mysterious Victorian home that seems to breathe secrets.
What begins as a new start quickly unfolds into a suspense-filled journey. The house reveals hidden rooms, a peculiar treehouse, and enchanted tomatoes that hint at deeper magic. As Mandy and her children begin to unravel the mystery of the teacher she replaced, who also vanished without a trace, they discover they are not alone. Ghosts, trolls, and vampires lurk in the shadows, many of them unfriendly and all part of an intricate web of town secrets.
Integral to the tale is Pirate Benny Pease, a legendary yet relatable character whose quest to find his own abducted daughter intersects with Mandy's. With his knowledge of magical travel portals and a shadowy past tied to sensitive military data, Benny is a key to the unfolding mystery and the town's haunted legacy.
In a review, Ana Parker Goodwin praises the novel as an "amazing book with so many fantastical twists and turns of fantasy as well as of life."
Perfect for fans of supernatural thrillers, family-driven adventures, and richly layered small-town mysteries, The Roses of Port Townsend delivers both heart and high-stakes intrigue. Readers will be captivated by the town's secrets and by one family's fight to uncover the truth and reunite.
The Roses of Port Townsend is available now on Amazon [https://amzn.to/46tFKzw] and Barnes & Noble [https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-roses-of-port-townsend-ethel-steinmetz-marmont/1147173553?ean=9798822960336].
