About this listen
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.

Wow! What am Ending!
I listened to this book in 2 days. I was taken on the magical journey the Author intended me to go on. And my heart lept into my throat as I listened to the Epilogue.

not for me
Second listen. I forgot most of this one. I recently listened to a couple of books from the author that were bad. Just bad. So I wasn't sure if this was one I liked or not.
So, I started listening. I was shocked to find that yeah, I did remember liking it. It was light and silly and the romance plot was unnecessary and forced, but I still found it entertaining. But then.
It completely phones it in at the end. The solution to the mystery was stupid. Magic. Yep. That's it. But there was next to no set up for it, just a brief mention and an info dump near the end. I felt ripped off.
And then, my least favourite tropey ending happened. No spoilers, just... ugh.
I'm done with this author. Ghost stories for rich white women with elevated opinions of themselves.
