2 posts | 3 read | 4 to read

Selburn, Virginia: A quiet backwater town nestled among the Blue Ridge Mountains. In the days before the Civil War, Sam Lock keeps the peace as the town sheriff, like his father before him. That peace is shattered during a raging winter storm when a boy goes missing at Evermore, the sprawling estate of Horace Crownhill and his family. Racing against time and the elements, Sam must mount a desperate search for the child-but what he finds in the snow, and the dark halls of Evermore, are madness ... and murder. As Sam searches for truth in a house poisoned by mysteries and haunted by ghosts, he hopes to weather the storm, but the harrowing secrets he uncovers may prove too terrible to bear. Will he escape with his sanity intact or will the dark presence rumored to hold sway over Evermore claim him as another sacrifice?

Beneath Ash & Bone | D Alexander Ward

A historical murder mystery with a supernatural twist. The book is set in the 1860's but could easily be set in today's environment. An isolated country mansion in the middle of a snow storm. The story was really interesting. I loved the setting. The snowstorm was a character in itself. Sheriff Sam is a great character and I liked reading about him.

Beneath Ash & Bone | D Alexander Ward

so-so

This is a fast, mildly creepy novella that takes place before the civil war. It starts with a murder and delves into dark family secrets. I think this suffered a bit from how short it was. Things could have been drawn out to build more mystery and suspense. I also found it mildly predictable. Overall it was a good read and a nice way to spend an evening.

TW: some gore, suggestion of rape, slavery
