The moon, shining down on Granger’s Mansion, saw some strange and puzzling sights. What, for example, was the animal who stopped by one moonlit night to pay Ned McNeil a visit? But, long before that, what were the murderous things that went on in the moonlight and had an effect many years later on Ned and her friends?
Strange, eerie and puzzling as they were, inside her Victorian house, Ned and her friends enjoyed a good, old-fashioned get-together in the second Ned McNeil cozy mystery, By the Fright of the Silvery Moon. It wasn’t a party exactly, but a meeting of a club, the Old House Club. However, that luncheon sealed the fate of one of the guests.
If you enjoy brownies, and would like to try baking the ones Ned baked for the luncheon, here’s the recipe.
