Award-winning author of New York Times bestselling breakout novel (and hit Netflix show) Behind Her Eyes returns with a haunting Gothic novel about a house—and a marriage—gone terribly wrong.
After an accident that nearly kills her, Emily and her husband, Freddie, move from London to a beautiful Dartmoor country house called Larkin Lodge. The house is gorgeous, striking—and to Emily, something about it feels deeply wrong.
Old boards creak at night, fires go out, and books fall from the shelves, and all of it stems from the terrible presence she feels in the third-floor room. But these things happen only when Emily's alone, so are they happening at all? She's still medically fragile; her postsepsis condition can cause hallucinatory side effects, which means she can't fully trust her own senses. Freddie doesn't notice anything odd and is happy with their chance at a fresh start.
Emily, however, starts to believe that the house is being haunted by someone who was murdered in it, though she can find no evidence of a wrongful death. As bizarre events pile up and her marriage starts to crumble, Emily becomes obsessed with discovering the truth about Larkin Lodge.
But if the house has secrets, so do Emily and her husband.
And they live here now.

      If fairy tales taught us anything, it was to be careful what we wish for. When Emily, in recovery from a three-month coma, wishes she had a house in the country, far away from the madness of London, her husband Freddie finds the perfect place. A huge house, on the edges of Dartmoor. But what follows is anything but a "happily ever after" ending. Larkin Lodge is striking, but there is an unsettling miasma about it. Indoors, there are creaking floorboards, fires that extinguish themselves, books that fall from shelves, and fleeting foul odors. Outdoors, pesky ravens, skeletal tree branches, a landscape covered in icy gray mist. All of this on top of a marriage crumbling under the weight of the nasty secrets that moved in with them. Pinborough skillfully transforms the narrative from domestic suspense to an intriguing horror story, with shades of Edgar Allan Poe and Stephen King. The improbability of it all might be a stretch for some readers, but her fans may take delight in considering just what Hitchcock might have done with this material.
