Goody Hall by Natalie Babbitt

A mystery! In this story, a young man, Hercules, arrives at Goody Hall to tutor the boy who lives there. But Hercules and his charge, Willet, learn that there are many things going on at Goody Hall that don't seem quite right. And it all centers around the death of Willet's father, Midas. Later, we learn that, when younger, Midas and his wife had lived on a farm, but they longed for a better, easier life. They wanted servants and luxury, and they got it at a great cost.

That's all I'll really say since I don't want to give away the ending. This book was okay, but mysteries are not my favorite reads. Often times, everything comes to too neat of a close when you get to the end.
