Recently widowed and rendered penniless by her Ponzi-scheming husband, Julia Bishop is eager to start anew. So when a stranger appears on her doorstep with a job offer, she finds herself accepting the mysterious yet unique position: caretaker to his mother, Amaris Sinclair, the famous and rather eccentric horror novelist whom Julia has always admired...and who the world believes is dead.
When she arrives at the Sinclairs' enormous estate on Lake Superior, Julia begins to suspect that there may be sinister undercurrents to her "too-good-to-be-true" position. As Julia delves into the reasons of why Amaris chose to abandon her successful writing career and withdraw from the public eye, her search leads to unsettling connections to her own family tree, making her wonder why she really was invited to Havenwood in the first place, and what monstrous secrets are still held prisoner within its walls.

Book ok. Probably worth 3 stars. BUT THE NARRATOR! I literally wanted to do unspeakable things to her. Why why why these narrators think they have to ”act”??? What a horrible experience. I had to listen this in short instalments bc she made me so aggressive and frustrated with her voice-changing. It is extremely consuming to listen to someone acting ”disturbed and anxiuos” with quivering, constricted voice, hour after hour. And her portrayal of the 30-something scottish man, supposedly handsome and possibly love interest of the leading lady! Narrator made him soud like a 90-year old. Every time the ”love interest” part was at play, I was 🤢 bc I pictured the man as someone with bent back and a walking stick, barely able to hold pee. Yeah, thanks, ”voice acting”.
