Publisher's Summary

A woman trying to outrun her past is drawn to a coastal village in Maine - and to a string of unsolved murders - in this novel of romance and psychological suspense from New York Times bestselling author Tess Gerritsen.

“Suspenseful, sexy, and soulful.” --J. R. Ward, bestselling author of the Black Dagger Brotherhood series

After an unspeakable tragedy in Boston, Ava Collette flees to a remote village in Maine, where she rents an old house named Brodie’s Watch.

In that isolated seaside mansion, Ava finally feels at peace...until she glimpses the long-dead sea captain who still resides there.

Rumor has it that Captain Jeremiah Brodie has haunted the house for more than a century. One night, Ava confronts an apparition, who feels all too real, and who welcomes her into his world - and into his arms. Even as Ava questions her own sanity, she eagerly looks forward to the captain’s ghostly visits. But she soon learns that the house she loves comes with a terrible secret, a secret that those in the village don’t want to reveal: Every woman who has ever lived in Brodie’s Watch has also died there. Is the ghost of Captain Brodie responsible, or is a flesh-and-blood killer at work? A killer who is even now circling closer to Ava?

“Reminiscent of the best of du Maurier, this modern gothic is eerie, tantalizing, spine-tingling, and sensual.... An altogether delicious read.” --Sandra Brown, #1 New York Times bestselling author

not what I expected but worth a listen

This standalone novel was not what I was expecting and isn't as good as some of her other works but it is definitely worth a listen. The narrator was good and the writing was better than average. The only issue I had really is it was a very 50 shades of grey type of book. I dont mind sex scenes in a novel but these were a bit over the top and didn't really add to the overall story. The MC is a flawed person and not a total Mary Sue so that was excellent but it had a weird sub story of a murder that kind of felt tacked on to appeal to her Rizzoli and ilse fans but didn't really suit this novel.

Well past Excellent!

This kind of story is not usually my cup of tea!But because it’s Tess Garretson‘s work I had to give it a try and believe me I’m glad I did.
