Description
Ghosts, intrigue and a murder long ago sit at the heart of House of Many Shadows, the gripping Gothic romance by New York Times bestseller Barbara Michaels.
When a car crash leaves Meg Rittenhouse suffering from strange hallucinations, an invitation to recuperate at her elderly relative's crumbling mansion in the Pennsylvania hills seems like the answer to her prayers. But she couldn't be more wrong . . .
There, in a remote old house miles from anywhere, the terrible sights and sounds become even worse. Suddenly eerie black shapes dance in the shadows - mocking Meg, haunting her . . . threatening her. And the presence of kind, considerate Andy Brenner, the caretaker, both reassures her and terrifies her - because Andy also sees these dark spectres . . .
The psychological and the supernatural sit side by side in this contemporary gothic romance.
