'This will haunt you. Riveting!' Shari Lapena, author of THE COUPLE NEXT DOOR
'The Shape of Night is as compulsive as it gets.' Lesley Kara, author of THE RUMOUR
If the walls could talk . . . they'd tell her to leave. Now.
When Ava arrives at Brodie's Watch, she thinks she has found the perfect place to hide from her past. Something terrible happened, something she is deeply ashamed of, and all she wants is to forget.
But the old house on the hill both welcomes and repels her and Ava quickly begins to suspect she is not alone. Either that or she is losing her mind.
The house is full of secrets, but is the creeping sense of danger coming from within its walls, or from somewhere else entirely?

This will haunt you. Riveting! * Shari Lapena, bestselling author of THE COUPLE NEXT DOOR *
A close-knit community, a gothic house, and a shadowy stranger inside . . . I love Tess's writing and The Shape Of Night is as compulsive as it gets. * Lesley Kara, author of THE RUMOUR *
Beguiling! Gerritsen is at her atmospheric best in this spine-tingling tale of a lone woman, an old house, and all the secrets everyone tries to hide. * Lisa Gardner *
A captivating and seductive tale exploring the dark embrace of grief and guilt, reminding us that nothing can haunt us as insidiously as our personal demons. This is the incomparable Gerritsen at her finest! * Sylvia Day *
Curl up in your favorite reading chair and let Tess Gerritsen whisk you away to a coastal town reminiscent of Daphne Du Maurier's best settings. As the chills run down your spine, and the creeping sense of danger curls your toes, don't say I didn't warn you: you are in for a dark and sexy night, and you will be up very late with Tess' twisted, haunting tale. * Iris Johansen *
The Shape of Night is one helluva thrill ride with twists and turns I didn't see coming. I honestly could not put the book down . . . This is one of Gerritsen's best mysteries ever. * Lisa Jackson *
A clever contemporary spin on the Gothic novel. * Financial Times *
Well paced and written with verve. * i *
