Historia4 out of 5 stars 9
It started the night journalist Briar Thorne’s mother died in their rambling old mansion on Chicago’s South Side. The nightmares of a woman in white pleading to come home, music switched on in locked rooms, and the panicked fear of being swallowed by the dark…Bri has almost convinced herself that these stirrings of dread are simply manifestations of grief and not the beyond-world of ghostly impossibilities her mother believed in. And more tangible terrors still lurk outside the decaying Victorian greystone.

Excellent Novel
Revisado: 03-31-25
I loved thus novel.
Far too much to describe.
I shall try. Tha narration was stellar, both narrators. I could close my eyes and be there amd experience the heroine's, Briar Rose Thorne, feelings, emotions, her fear of almost insanity. I could see the parks she traveled through in Chicago.
I was entertained 70% of this novel while driving, yet the emotional didn't change, or the feeling of the settings. (It helped I grew up in Chicago and visited often as an adult. Ironically, one thing that resonated with me were family trips to the Forest Reserves, and many Catholic graveyards.), this helped immensely with my personal visualization.
However, even if I hadn't been born in the Chicago area and halfway grew up there, the author did an amazing job with her research. Anyone listening or reading this novel would feel the intensity, the beauty, even the starless of winter there.
I loved the heroine, it took her time to come into her own, yet the story moves without loss, as Briar is dealing with immense loss which affects all that she does, feels, and thinks.
Anymore, and I feel I would ruin this novel for others.
This is my first book by this author, and I adored it. In all fairness, this is one time I believe the narrators made it so much more fore me.
I look forward to more by this author.
A terrific thriller!

The narration .
Revisado: 01-17-25
I loved this author. I was uncertain about the narration, when I read I hear and see in my mind, easily. This is only the second audio novel I truly enjoyed listening to, the narrators were wonderful.
The story of small town secrets was a perfect story line. Anyone who lives in a small town realizes secrets are never secret.
Rarely, is someone able to keep something tragic and hurtful to their self. Aunt Gracie, knew the power of small town's gossip and never shared her secret.
Lila was an well rounded character, the narrator did so well, I felt her pain, her wonderful wit, her growth as an individual, and her learning real love.
Jasper was such an amazing secondary character. So many times it was like hearing my grandfather, without the Texas accent.
The storyline and characters, as well as the setting were amazing.
Another amazing novel from Carolyn Brown.
Exactly what I expect from this author.
The narrators were wonderful, I truly enjoyed every minute of listening to the audio book!
