Story4.5 out of 5 stars 38
Daniel is desperate for a job. When someone slides a note under his door offering him the groundskeeper’s position at an old estate, it seems too good to be true. Alarm bells start ringing when he arrives at Craven Manor. The mansion’s front door hangs open, and leaves and cobwebs coat the marble foyer. It’s clear no one has lived there in a long time. But an envelope waits for him inside the doorway. It contains money and promises more.

For more than three decades John Saul has haunted the New York Times best seller list - and listeners imaginations - with his chilling tales of psychological suspense and supernatural horror. His instinct for striking the deepest chords of fear in our hearts and minds is unerring, and his gift for steering a tale from the light of day into the darkest depths of nightmare is at its harrowing best in House of Reckoning.

It has waited seven years for someone to come back to the rambling lakeside house called Pinecrest, which has stood empty since its last owner went missing. For upscale Chicago couple Dan and Merrill Brewster, the old midwestern manse is an ideal retreat, and for their kids, Eric and Marci, it's the perfect place to spend a lazy summer exploring.

Publisher's Summary
The sudden, tragic death of her husband leaves Caroline Evans alone in New York City to raise an 11-year-old son and a 12-year-old daughter on little money and even less hope. But then she meets and marries handsome, successful Anthony Fleming, who wins her heart and embraces her children. When Caroline settles her family into Anthony's spacious apartment on Manhattan's Central Park West, her fears of an uncertain future give way to a sense of abundant happiness. But soon, new terrors will come home to roost in the luxurious, exclusive building named The Rockwell. Midnight voices whisper of a cruel and hungry presence that also calls The Rockwell home.
First, Caroline's daughter begins to suffer from recurring nightmares of strangers in her room at night. Then her son turns sullen at home and angry at school, spreading terrifying rumors about the stepfather who has shown him nothing but kindness. And when Caroline discovers a startling secret about Anthony's past, it seems she, too, is falling victim to the creeping paranoia infecting her family. Should she doubt her perfect husband, their kindly fellow tenants, or her own sanity? Does someone - or something - in her new home have sinister designs on Caroline and her children? Is her new life charmed or cursed?
Step across the threshold of The Rockwell - and into the dark realm of John Saul...in a spine-tingling novel that will haunt you wherever you live.

This book is trite
Much of this book is a rip off of Rosemary's Baby. I usually like John Saul, but this is one of the most predictable and obvious books I've read or heard. The characters are one dimensional, and the reader, Lee Merriweather, makes them sound like complete idiots. Pass this one up.

Pretty Good!
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes, I would recommend if they like horror or just a dark fantasy. The story was well told, and it held my interest.
Who was your favorite character and why?
I would say the son in this novel, he was pretty much the better hero than I thought the mother was.
Which scene was your favorite?
The beginning, it was very detailed.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
Be afraid of what happens after dark

Skip it
I was unimpressed with this book. The narrator's voice was grating and her impressions of the other characters were even worse. The book itself was pretty lousy and left me with many unanswered questions, and not in a provocative or thought provoking way. The ending was so anti climactic, I hesitate to use the word climactic. Skip it.
