Resumen del Editor

From award-winning novelist Wendy Webb comes a spine-tingling, modern-day haunted house story set on Lake Superior.

Grace Alban has spent 20 years away from her childhood home, the stately Alban House on the shores of Lake Superior - for reasons she would rather forget. But when her mother’s unexpected death brings Grace and her teenage daughter home, she finds more than just her own personal demons haunting the halls and passageways of Alban House. Long-buried family secrets, a packet of old love letters, and a lost manuscript plunge Grace into a decades-old mystery about a scandalous party at Alban House during which a world-famous author took his own life and Grace’s aunt disappeared without a trace. That night has been shrouded in secrecy by the powerful Alban family for all of these years, and Grace realizes her family secrets tangle and twist as darkly as the hidden passages of Alban House. Her mother was intending to tell the truth about that night to a reporter on the very day she died. Could it have been murder, or was she a victim of the supposed Alban curse? With the help of the disarmingly kind - and attractive - Reverend Matthew Parker, Grace must uncover the truth about her home and its curse before she and her daughter become the next victims.

Wendy Webb has woven a suspenseful mystery that skillfully skirts the boundary between what is paranormal and what is psychological.

Wendy Webb is editor-in-chief of Duluth-Superior, an upscale lifestyle magazine. A journalist with two decades of experience, she lives in Minnesota.

Good story

A little slow at times but overall a good read
Would read another book by this author

nicely spooky, light mystery

This genre is entertaining but not too complex or deep. The house is perhaps the most captivating character. The other characters are likable but perhaps a bit simple. Still, I did enjoy it.

Excellent Chilling Mystery!

This is a well-written work, cradling a chilling mystery between the pages. The story unfolds gradually offering tantalizing peeks at the underlying mystery. Excellent! Bravo!

Mystery

Good story, at times a little far fetched.. but worth the listen none the less...

It’s ok

I actually liked this book. Twists and turns, it was all to my liking. This story seemed so real I wished the author did not go for dark magic. I wished the things that happened had a natural explanation. I don’t want put any spoilers, but you’ll know when you listen. In all good read!

Very Entertaining

What is this perfectly written? No. Was it perfectly performed? It was pretty well done. I gave it five stars all around because I found myself wanting to listen to it and not put it down after my walks or after being in my car listening to it. I struggle to find books like that. This one was definitely, “I want to keep listening to it” read for me.

Good listening.

Narration was excellent. Enjoyed the "Nancy Drew" type mystery, but going back to Baldacci and Patterson.
But, this certainly was NOT a waste of time! I enjoyed this book.

Truly Great Book!

Very well written. Spooky and beautiful. I loved everything about this book and could easily see it being a TV series.

Fate of Mercy Alban

A fun and interesting story line. It’s a bit creepy at times; just enough to think, “oooo!” It was a book I didn’t want to put down. And the reader was superb. Thoroughly enjoyable book.
