The Secret Attic

A Novel

De: Chelsea Conradt

Narrado por: Brittany Pressley

"Haunting and atmospheric." —Nalini Singh, New York Times bestselling author, for The Farmhouse


The past isn't just haunting her—it's hunting her.
Addison Lowe knew her mother-in-law despised her, but inheriting Barb's massive estate after her death feels less like closure and more like a trap. Barb's hoarded rooms aren't just filled with clutter—they're filled with secrets. And it's Addison's job to unearth them while Luke grieves the loss of the mother he could never let go of.
But Luke grows stranger with every box they open—restless, secretive, cruel in ways Addison has never seen. And the house itself seems to breathe with Barb's presence. Ivy claws through the windows. A murder of crows drops trinkets at her feet. Dolls stare from the shadows, labeled with names Addison doesn't recognize—until she does. One doll bears the name Cassidy Warren, a girl who vanished years ago. And the more Addison uncovers, the more Barb's legacy seems tied to the streak of "bad luck" that has haunted Rockside Bay for decades.
The deeper Addison digs, the clearer it becomes: some secrets were meant to stay buried. And the husband she thought she knew may be hiding the darkest one of all…


Praise for The Farmhouse:
"Unputdownable… A smart, chilling, ferociously feminist thriller." —Kristen Simmons, Bram Stoker Award Nominee
"A thought-provoking, action-packed thriller… A must-read." —Lisa M. Matlin, author of The Stranger Upstairs

So good

I need another!! Love the narration and the twists! I hope there is another novel.

I related to the main character in many ways.

This is my first read by this particular author. I appreciated the wordsmith with descriptions and development of emotions and surroundings in the story. I never had to imagine too hard about anything. Details of places, characters and feelings were amazing. I like not having to make the characters up in my mind so I can simply enjoy listening and picturing the characters and scenes. The plot progressed with suspense and the ending was perfect.

Scary

The ending left me hanging, like not sure about the husband. It makes one wonder how much complete trust you should place in one person

Slow Burn!

I loved this one. I’ve been in a dry spell for weeks. I go through 2-3 books a week but couldn’t stop listening to this one. The story line has me guessing. Kind of still does. Narration was superb as usual with Brittany Pressley. Definitely recommend this one.

D+ rating - not every book can be a home run

I usually love this author & this narrator but this one was a dud. At first, the book was very captivating. However, for the next 4 hours nothing progressed. Dolls. Dolls. Dolls. We got it. We all saw the ending coming.
