À propos de cet audio

She’s restoring the old family home on the hill. And unearthing something evil.

In the tourist town of Wharton, on the coast of Lake Superior, Tess Bell is renovating her old family home into a bed-and-breakfast during the icy dead of winter…

As the house’s restoration commences, a shuttered art studio is revealed. Inside are paintings Tess’s late grandfather, beloved and celebrated artist Sebastian Bell, hid away for generations. But these appear to be the works of a twisted mind, almost unrecognizable as paintings she and others familiar with his art would expect. The sinister canvases raise disturbing questions for Tess, sparking nightmares and igniting in her an obsession to unearth the truth around their origins.

What evil has been locked away for so many years? The ominous brushstrokes, scratching at the door, and moving shadows begin to pull Tess further and further into the darkness in this blood-chilling novel of suspense by the #1 Amazon Charts bestselling author of The Keepers of Metsan Valo.

This isn't my favourite Wendy Webb story. I loved the build up but it started to lose me 3/4 of the way thru with the ghost hunting. The ending wasn't quite predictable but did seem lazy to me. (for a lack of a better way to describe it) Xe Sands is amazing as always. I still recommend it as it's still a good listen, it's just not my favourite.

Great story, not so great ending

A middle-aged heiress decides to renovate her grandparents home to open a B&B, meets a Deus Ex Machina dog, and falls in love with the second man sh shares small talk with, after only having known him for two days.

For the first 3/4 of this book it felt like listening to a kind but boring coworker make small talk. And then it picked up only to conclude with the same ending as almost every other murder mystery/thriller.

(If you are also exhausted of authors blaming everything on mental illness (specifically DID) I'd skip this)

Slow burn that stays that way right to the end
