Kate Williams returns to Villa Magda, her family‘s summer home on the coast of Maine, after her estranged mother‘s death. She has inherited the estate but has not visited for the past 18 years. Kate decides to sell the house and takes her family and their close friends, Molly and Sam Evans and their son, Ben, to visit Villa Magda for a week to clean out the house.
EadieB After arriving they experience unexplainable incidents and suspicious visitors who threaten to expose Kate‘s deepest secrets about a fateful summer that ripped her family apart. The visitors' friendships begin to unravel when a body is found floating in the pool. What really happened at Villa Magda 18 years ago? How much does Kate remember and can the house be stopped from claiming its next victim? (edited) 3y
EadieB This is a psychological thriller that keeps you invested until the very end. It is a very well-written ghost story with surprising twists. I found the ghosts to be very believable as the house has a spooky feeling as soon as the visitors arrive. The characters were well-drawn and Kate starts to wonder who she can really trust. I think this book would make a great movie and hope that it moves in that direction. (edited) 3y
EadieB I‘m looking forward to reading the authors‘ first book, The Woman in the Park, as I really like Teresa Sorkin and Tullan Holmqvist‘s writing. I would like to thank Beaufort Books and LibraryThing for sending me a copy of an ARC for an honest review. The book is due to be published April 12, 2022 and I would suggest you get a copy if you enjoy ghost stories with a mix of mystery. 3y
