 THE BRAND NEW HEART-POUNDING GOTHIC THRILLER FROM THE INTERNATIONALLY BESTSELLING AUTHOR

Everyone believes that Lenora Hope is a mass murderer.

When the Hope family was massacred decades ago, she was the only one left after that tragic night.

Mute, paralysed and confined to a wheelchair, Lenora has never been able to tell her side of the story.

Until her new live-in caregiver Kit brings her a typewriter.

And with one working finger Lenora begins to type:

I want to tell you everything.©2023 Todd Ritter Crime Thrillers Historical Mystery Thriller Thriller & Suspense Women Sleuths Crime Fiction Exciting Heartfelt Suspense Murder

Critic reviews

A complex mystery thriller. Sager writes modern gothic very well and there's bags of atmosphere in this book

The book begins with the murders of the Hope family. The daughter, Lenora, was believed to be responsible, though the police never proved it. Now Lenora lives at Hope's End, confined to bed, unable to speak or move any part of her body except one hand. Enter Kit, a caregiver/nurse who is employed to look after Lenora, and who has her own dark secrets.

This book moved at a slowish pace, but I was soon hooked by the story which made me want to listen when I really should have been going to sleep. The pace did pick up considerably in the last third of the book, and there were so many twists I started to feel dizzy. Ok, some were a bit far fetched, but the book was so entertaining that I can forgive that. I really, really loved the setting of the dark, creepy, crumbling old house though I did wonder how the hell anyone would ever want to live there.

The narration by Regina Reagan and Stephanie Cannon was great.

Entertaining thriller

The story has so many twist you can’t see it coming. I finished in two days. With compelling characters and a story that you can’t stop listening to, this book is definitely one of the best I have listened to this year. Can’t wait to listen to more about this author.

Absolutely brilliant
