The Lady in Residence

De: Allison Pittman

Narrado por: Sybil Johnson

Can a legacy of sadness be broken at Menger Hotel?

Hedda Krause, a young widow in search of a new rich husband, checked into the Menger Hotel in 1915 with a case full of jewels - and never checked out. In 2017, Dini Blackstone gives ghost walk tours in San Antonio. Her favorite is the tale of Hedda Krause who, in Dini's estimation, perpetrated the world's longest con, dying old and wealthy. Hedda adamantly claimed a ghost apparition lured her into a long, dark hallway, and when she returned to her room, her precious jewelry had been stolen. For the remainder of her life, ghost enthusiasts bought her expensive pieces of jewelry in an attempt to lure the ghost to appear again. But with new revelations, can Dini see another side of the story that is worth God's grace?

Mystery at the Menger

Allison Pittman's Lady in Residence draws you into a story that will keep you up at night turning the pages until the mystery of that lady becomes known to you. Why? Because that mysterious lady is none other than Allison Pittman herself. No, the author is not the reincarnation or ghost of Hedda Krause, or the ghost of the murdered maid who was haunting Hedda. This is all a way of saying the story has such a true to life feel because the author, as much as is possible, lived it herself. From viewing the site of a murder from the window of a room at the Menger Hotel to sleeping in a room much like Hedda Krause would have lived in during her long stay there, Allison Pitman did her research by living the story to the point of experiencing a bit of Hedda's fear herself. All this is made even more real by the budding love of the young couple who dedicated themselves to solving the mystery of The Lady in Residence.

Thanks A. Pittman for highlighting the best of San Antonio!

Another great love story woven through an altogether different story filled with sorrow, love, faith and finding personal fulfillment.
