À propos de cet audio
In this ingenious and subversive twist on the classic gothic novel, the mysterious past of an island mansion lures two sisters into a spiderweb of scandal, secrets, and murder.
Two sisters, strangers since birth yet bound by family secrets, are caught up in a century-old mystery on an isolated island.
After arriving on Block Island to find her birth mother, Blake Bronson becomes convinced she’s the heroine of a gothic novel—the kind that allowed her intermittent escape from a traumatic childhood. How else to explain the torrential rain, the salt-worn mansion known as White Hall, and the restless ghost purported to haunt its halls? But before Blake can discern the novel’s ending, she’s found dead, murdered in a claw-foot tub. The proprietress of White Hall stands accused.
Summoned by a letter sent from Blake before she died, Thalia Mills returns to the island she swore she’d left for good. She finds that Blake wasn’t the first to die at White Hall under suspicious circumstances. Thalia must uncover the real reason for Blake’s demise before the forces conspiring to keep Block Island’s secrets dead and buried rise up to consume her too.

Histoire
After being fired from his last two jobs, Ryan Clark lands an associate position with a law firm run by his distant cousin, Tom, in a small North Carolina town. Over twenty-five years earlier, Tom represented local man Joe Moore when he was convicted of murder in the deaths of a prominent young couple. Even though the evidence was circumstantial, Joe was high on drugs and doesn't remember the details of the crime. He never seriously questioned his own guilt, but Joe's family remains unconvinced of his guilt, and they hire Ryan and Tom to file a motion to obtain Joe's release.

Ce que les critiques en disent
“Narrator Linda Jones supplies an appropriately melodramatic performance, ably communicating the hallmarks of this gothic mystery—a remote island setting, a haunted house, murderous ghosts, hidden passageways, skeletons, and unsettling stormy weather. Thrilling psychological suspense that should appeal to fans of gothic novels and the works of Gemma Amor, Sarah Waters, and the Bronte sisters.”—Library Journal
“Great fun for readers…”—Kirkus Reviews
“This compelling and atmospheric thriller pays homage to classic gothic novels while still adding something fresh to the beloved genre. An easy sell to fans of the Brontës but also those who enjoy the creepy, psychological suspense of Simone St. James.”—Booklist
Narrator did a good job
Un problème est survenu. Veuillez réessayer dans quelques minutes.
4 hours in and then the mystery is no mystery. Not one of these incompetent characters can deduce the tiniest of clues and the whole story in itself is ridiculous.
SPOILER ALERTS if you decide to waste your money on this one:
A sympathy card with the name of the character clearly marked on the envelope is delivered to the home she is staying in along with a bottle of 'mystery' liquid. They stupidly deduce that it was meant for some other person (with the SAME NAME?!) and delivered incorrectly. They then go on to be COMPLETELY shocked that the bottle contains mulberry wine which this whole stupid tale centers upon and would be obvious to my pet rooster.
These are only two examples of the idiocy of this novel. Many more abound, believe me. What a waste of my precious listening time.
so infuriatingly silly and implausible
