The Forsaken Inn by Anna Katharine Green
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Looking for shelter one rainy evening, a rider aims to seek safety in a derelict building. A stranger warns him off and offers him a ride in his carriage to the next village. Where he gives him a manuscript to read. Dated 28 January 1775 and written by the last occupant of the derelict, it's former landlady, Mrs Truax of the Happy-go-Lucky Inn. This is her story.
An enjoyable historical mystery
Originally written in 1889.
