From the New York Times bestselling author of Murder Road comes a gripping novel that “is the perfect blend of history and mystery, with a little paranormal activity and romance thrown in for the ride” (Suspense Magazine).
England, 1921. Three years after her husband, Alex, disappeared, shot down over Germany, Jo Manders still mourns his loss. Working as a paid companion to Alex's wealthy, condescending aunt, Dottie Forsyth, Jo travels to the family’s estate in the Sussex countryside. But there is much she never knew about her husband’s origins…and the revelation of a mysterious death in the Forsyths’ past is just the beginning…
 
All is not well at Wych Elm House. Dottie's husband is distant, and her son was grievously injured in the war. Footsteps follow Jo down empty halls, and items in her bedroom are eerily rearranged. The locals say the family is cursed, and that a ghost in the woods has never rested. And when Jo discovers her husband’s darkest secrets, she wonders if she ever really knew him.  Isolated in a place of deception and grief, she must find the truth or lose herself forever.
 
And then a familiar stranger arrives at Wych Elm House…

      Three years after the death of her husband, Alex, during World War I, Jo Manders has found work as the paid companion to Alex's dreadful aunt, Dottie Forsyth. Together the pair make their way to Wych Elm House, the Forsyth country home, where Jo meets the rest of the family. This includes Martin, Alex's cousin, who was wounded during the war and has only recently returned to England after a mysterious stay in a Swiss hospital. But Martin and his distant, disdainful father are the least of Jo's problems; something is awake at Wych Elm House--and it wants Jo's attention. As the mysteries behind a tragic death and family secrets grow, so do the dark happenings plaguing the house. Worse yet is the day when someone from Jo's past reappears. Someone who should be very much dead. VERDICT Though all of St. James's books are splendid, this is her finest since The Haunting of Maddy Clare. The suspense level is top-notch, and the romance is one of the author's very best. Longtime fans and newcomers will rejoice.--Kristen Droesch, formerly with Library Journal
