If the walls could talk . . . they'd tell her to leave. Now.

When Ava arrives at Brodie’s Watch, she thinks she has found the perfect place to hide from her past. Something terrible happened, something she is deeply ashamed of, and all she wants is to forget.

But the old house on the hill both welcomes and repels her and Ava quickly begins to suspect she is not alone. Either that or she is losing her mind.

The house is full of secrets, but is the creeping sense of danger coming from within its walls, or from somewhere else entirely?


Well, this was.......interesting! Totally not what I was expecting. I have read a few Tess Gerritsen books before and this is not like any of them!
I thought it would be a thriller and it was kind of, but its a ghost story as well - kind of a fifty shades of grey ghost story with murder thrown in. There were some quite tense moments in it but in my opinion the sex scenes weren't needed and I just skipped those.

sending to someone from the 2021 UK birthday group.

Hope you enjoy the book and have a lovely birthday!!

Received as part of a birthday RABCK, thank you. I used to read a lot of Tess Gerritsen, but hadn't seen any of hers for awhile so it will be nice to re-visit. Thank you.
