Resumen del Editor

A young woman searches for the truth behind her uncle’s mysterious death in a town haunted by a restless ghost in this gripping novel by the New York Times bestselling author of The Book of Cold Cases.

Oxford student Jillian Leigh works day and night to keep up with her studies—so to leave at the beginning of the term is next to impossible. But after her uncle Toby, a renowned ghost hunter, is killed in a fall off a cliff, she must drive to the seaside village of Rothewell to pack up his belongings.

Almost immediately, unsettling incidents—a book left in a cold stove, a gate swinging open on its own—escalate into terrifying events that convince Jillian an angry spirit is trying to enter the house. Is it Walking John, the two-hundred-year-old ghost who haunts Blood Moon Bay? And who beside the ghost is roaming the local woods at night? If Toby uncovered something sinister, was his death no accident?

The arrival of handsome Scotland Yard inspector Drew Merriken, a former RAF pilot with mysteries of his own, leaves Jillian with more questions than answers—and with the added complication of a powerful, mutual attraction. Even as she suspects someone will do anything to hide the truth, she begins to discover spine-chilling secrets that lie deep within Rothewell…and at the very heart of who she is.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“I thoroughly enjoyed it!...Simone clearly relishes and is steeped in the traditions of gothic fiction—in the best way. She conjures that secretive, hushed atmospher perfectly, and the story kept me turning pages from beginning to end. At once an intriguing mystery and an eerie ghost story, it had more than enough spine-tingling moments to keep me gripped.”—Katherine Webb, author of The Unseen

The ending was great

Great ending, tough book to get into. I had a lot of trouble caring about this main character. She was just uninteresting to me. I didn’t really care about any of the characters, really. It was hard to get through. But the ending was very good. This one also had more sex scenes in it than her later books. I think there is only 1 but it has a lot of other romantic scenes that act like they will be a sex scene. There might be 2 in there. I’m not sure. I check out mentally when they start.

Was the death an accident or something else?

Though slow to start, the mystery of what the residents of this small village might be hiding is worth exploring. With a local, restless ghost in residence near a cliff facing the sea and dense woods behind, we find an insular populous of post-war characters in this story. It’s not until a young college student finds herself dealing with her dead uncle’s effects that the story truly begins! A fascinating story and worth reading!

Interesting take on a Ghost story!

I struggled a bit with the start. I fought through it and the mystery of the ghost won me over. Lots of twists and turn. The performance was great. I loved the how she bright the character to life.

Outstanding as always.

I am such a big scaredy cat, but I love Simone’s books. Her writing is just spectacular, especially her historical novels, and I can never turn them off once I start. Her ghost stories are the best, and I freaking love her leading ladies.

Couldn't make it through the first 2 hours.

The narrator's "acting" was so obnoxious I couldn't listen to it anymore. I hate when a narrator is so bad that it ruins the book.
