Amber’s dream wedding at Mayguard Manor—a renovated castle on Lake Superior—unravels when a notorious pyromaniac killer reappears, leaving maroon candles as a chilling signature. A brutal storm isolates the island, and the castle’s tragic history resurfaces with unsettling force. As suspicion spreads and alliances fracture, Amber must confront the manor's violent past and its connection to the killer before the next candle appears.

If you like thrillers and suspense from authors Sarah Pearse The Sanatorium or Alice Feeney’s Rock Paper Scissors, and Lucy Foley’s The Guest List, sprinkled with classic Agatha Christie, you will love The Maroon Candle. A classic throwback to the thrillers of the eighties, with modern day sensibilities.
