Finishing up her 5th book, author Lucy Harper feels relieved until her husband Daniel takes her for a drive. As they pull up to the Cossley House, Lucy wants to return home, as the haunting memories of her childhood are still here. Lucy writes popular crime fiction books featuring a character named Eliza. Eliza, a popular, money-making character that becomes much more than just an individual in her books.
With two time periods in this book, I wondered when they would meet up. Why doesn’t Lucy like Cossley House? It’s a mansion. What happened in her childhood to cause such a reaction? When Lucy finds out that her husband bought it for her, I was surprised at her reaction. Now, the story is getting interesting.
It’s the summer of 1991, young Lucy sneaks out of the house at night, dragging her young brother with her. It’s early the next morning, Lucy returns home to find her mother rushing out to meet her. Her brother? Isn’t he in the house sleeping?
So goes the story in 1991. What happened the night young Lucy and her little brother snuck out of the house? And now, Lucy is set to move into Cossley House, where this area, the memories of her childhood live on. The drama keeps building as her husband is supposed to be her assistant but now, his actions and comments are making me wonder if he really cares about Lucy and wants what’s best for her. I’m beginning to get an eerie feeling about him. Lucy’s actions and comments are making me wonder about her also.
This was a fun read, I liked trying to figure out what was happening with the characters. Why were they acting the way they were and what was this big secret? The flipping of the time periods was not that hard to keep track of and it all came together nicely in the end.
