Publisher Description
A widow goes looking for a fresh start–and instead enters a nightmare—in this spooky tale from the bestselling author of The Haunting of Brynn Wilder.
"A deliciously complex blend of psychological suspense and ghost story." -Erin Hart, author of The Book of Killowen
Recently widowed and rendered penniless by her Ponzi-scheming husband, Julia Bishop is eager to start anew. So when a stranger appears on her doorstep with a job offer, she finds herself accepting the mysterious yet unique position: caretaker to his mother, Amaris Sinclair, the famous and rather eccentric horror novelist whom Julia has always admired ... and who the world believes is dead.
When she arrives at the Sinclairs' enormous estate on Lake Superior, Julia begins to suspect that there may be sinister undercurrents to her "too-good-to-be-true" position. As Julia delves into the reasons of why Amaris chose to abandon her successful writing career and withdraw from the public eye, her search leads to unsettling connections to her own family tree, making her wonder why she really was invited to Havenwood in the first place, and what monstrous secrets are still held prisoner within its walls.
Customer Reviews
Enjoyed this book so much!
Read 3/4 of the book in one day! Just couldn’t put it down! I enjoyed its twists and turns, its characters, its charm. Looking forward to reading more books written by Wendy this fall!
Full of filler
Normally, I love Webb's books, but this was a total flop. It's a short story, a novella at the most, but it reads like the publisher insisted on a full length novel, so there are just pages and pages of nothing happening or questions that could be answered with a five minute conversation. Skip this and read one of her others instead.
