It begins, they say, with a woman screaming....

On a remote Scottish island, the McBride house stands guard over its secrets. A century ago, a young widow and her son died mysteriously there. Just last year a local boy, visiting for a dare, disappeared without a trace.

For Zoe Adams, newly arrived from America, the house offers a refuge from her failing marriage. But her peaceful retreat is disrupted by strange and disturbing events: night-time intrusions, unknown voices, and a constant sense of being watched.

The locals want her to believe that these incidents are echoes of the McBrides' dark past. Zoe is convinced the danger is closer at hand and all too real - but can she uncover the truth before she is silenced?

I love a ghost story, but I often find them too scary for my tender sensibilities. This one wasn’t scary, and it was a little overlong, but it drew me in: the big empty mansion out on the eerie Scottish moors, the mystery of a disappeared child, local legends of hauntings and murders, a ghost (or is he a sucubus?) who seduces sleeping women, ominous figures looming in dark corners. My only real quibble is the central character of the novel, Zoe, who is yet another of those damaged narrators that have become so popular since Gone Girl came out — she just can’t seem to stop making bad decisions.

An erotic ghost story

I really enjoy ghost stories in old houses. this story has many twists and turns, keeps you on your toes. The sex part could have been different and still kept the story on track. The main character is a woman with many issues and takes off to get away from life. She finds herself in an old house with a history of ghosts. The narration was very good. I enjoyed the book.

I enjoyed this story, way to much weird sex.

great book

I listened through the first 6 chapters - the narrator was amazing, which is why I stuck it out. Quit midway through chapter 7- too erotic. I thought this was more of a mystery. wasn't my style in the end.

nope.
