C.J. McGroarty returns to the 18th century in this dual timeline mystery that explores the depths of loss and the healing power of forgiveness…
After her husband loses his fight with terminal illness, interior designer Libby Casey struggles to move on from her ordeal and the painful secret that troubles her. One morning, while on her way to an appointment with a client, she comes across an old house on the outskirts of town that she feels inexplicably drawn to. When the house later goes up for sale, she buys it, hoping she can finally move on.
But not long after settling in, she realizes she isn’t alone. Voices whisper in the night. Mysterious objects appear and disappear. Odd scents waft from a withered kitchen garden. Desperate for answers, she digs into the history of the house and the man who built it, and discovers that he held a troubling secret of his own.
Does this secret hold the key to banishing her ghost for good? And will she finally find the peace she desires?
A compelling blend of contemporary gothic and historical fiction, this tale of love, loss and redemption is perfect for readers of Daphne Du Maurier, Simone St. James, Kate Morton, and Sarah Waters.
