House Of Secrets (Marta Perry) Books in Order

House of Secrets is one of Perry's strongest romantic suspense setups. The series centers on Blackburn House in Laurel Ridge, an old property tied to family inheritance, town gossip, and danger that clearly did not begin in the present.

The house does a lot of work.

In Where Secrets Sleep, an unexpected inheritance drags Allison Standish out of Philadelphia and into a small Amish village she barely understands. The house contains shops, tenants, and more history than she bargained for. In later books, that same web of history keeps tightening. Fires, suspicious deaths, old heartbreak, and the lingering question of what really happened in Blackburn House all push the characters into action.

Perry handles this kind of setting well because it gives her both atmosphere and structure. The mansion is a physical place people can gather around, fight over, and fear. At the same time, the surrounding Amish community keeps the stories from turning into gothic fantasy. The stakes stay local, emotional, and very human.

If you enjoy romantic suspense with inheritance trouble, recurring setting, and mysteries that unfold across multiple books, this series is a strong pick. Read Where Secrets Sleep, When Secrets Strike, and How Secrets Die in order to get the full mystery arc.
