About this listen

Young architect Wren Fontaine lands her dream job: restoring Greenleaf House, New York’s finest Gilded-Age mansion, to its glory days. But old homes have old secrets: Stephen Greenleaf—heir to what’s left of his family’s legacy—refuses to reveal what his plans are once the renovation is completed. And still living in a corner of the home is Stephen’s ninety-year-old Aunt Agnes who’s lost in the past, brooding over a long-forgotten scandal while watching Wren with mistrust.

Wren’s job becomes more complex when a shady developer who was trying to acquire Greenleaf House is found murdered. And after breaking into a sealed attic, Wren finds a skeleton stuffed in a trunk. She soon realizes the two deaths, a century apart, are strangely related. Meanwhile, a distraction of a different kind appears in the form of her client’s niece, the beautiful and seductive Hadley Vanderwerf. As Wren gingerly approaches a romance, she finds that Hadley has her own secrets.

Then a third murder occurs, and the introverted architect is forced to think about people, and about how ill-fated love affairs and obsessions continue to haunt the Greenleafs. In the end, Wren risks her own life to uncover a pair of murderers, separated by a century but connected by motive. She reveals an odd twist in the family tree that forever changes the lives of the Greenleafs, the people who served them, the mansion they all called home—and even Wren herself.

Love the Architecture/House Focus!!

I love 'cozy' simple mysteries and there are a gazillion great ones out there; this one centres around appreciation for a house, its history, its energy, its purpose.... There are some fun simple cozy mysteries that incorporate house flipping or renos as a primary focus, however this particular story allows the unfolding of the relationship the characters have to the house.

I'd LOVE to see more books like this!!! Possibly a series with the main characters (who are really interesting actually) or a number of stand alone books that maintain the relationship to a house or building as a primary focus.

Definitely recommend this book! The narrator is also great, with a very subtle, low key voice, easy to tell which character is speaking, and the narrator's way of speaking is so fitting for the main character! The narration isn't dramatic and may be considered by some 'monotone' yet it truly isn't, it's perfect for the main character and works for the book.
