To find her own life, she purchases a dilapidated house called Liefdehuis with plans to remodel and decorate it to appeal to middle class, will documenting her work in a book. Before long she discovers the house is haunted by many ghosts and no one wants to work in it.
When the charmingly eccentric scientist Samuel Moore meets Alva at her hotel and learns about the ghosts haunted her house, he is eager to become involved. He hopes to test the technology he has been working on to determine who the ghosts are and how to rid the house of them. Alva doesn't believe there are ghosts inhabiting her house, but when the contractor she hires and his staff refuse to go back to the house, she agrees to allow Sam to experiment. Before she knows it, she has been plunged into the middle of a ghastly nightmare finding herself haunted as well. While researching the house and the families that lived their Alva and Sam discover the tragic secrets hidden in the house.
The Widow of Rose House is part Gothic mystery, part Glided Age and wildely entertaining.
