I really enjoyed this. A suspicion of ghosts, a young woman facing challenges she's not prepared for and a nice bit of romance. Keeps you reading and I'll be ordering more of this author's books.

Had to read this book after I read the authors newest book and loved it. This book did not disappoint. Such detail throughout that made it feel like you were there. Little twists here and there.

Very suspenseful and intense , more than a simple thriller thanks to the deep analysis of complex and unusual characters : it could be labeled "a psychological thriller" .

This author is a very reliably entertaining source of romantic suspense. I really enjoyed her first two novels, and this one ups the spooky factor with a very psychologically chilling ghost. It's set just after WWI so also deals with…
