About The House on Chambers Road: A Ghost Story

Grieving widow Libby Casey buys an 18th-century house on the outskirts of town, hoping to move on from her husband’s death and the painful secret that plagues her. But soon after moving in, she finds she isn’t alone. An ominous voice whispers in the night, mysterious objects appear and disappear, and odd scents waft from the withered kitchen garden. Looking for answers, she digs into the history of the house and the man who built it and discovers that he had a troubling secret of his own. Does it hold the key to banishing her ghost for good? And will she finally find the peace she desires? For readers of Daphne Du Maurier, Simone St. James, Diana Gabaldon, and Susanna Kearsley.
