Description

Synopsys: In the Dark' by Carol Brennan is a gripping psychological thriller that chills you to the bone. In this electrifying novel, Brennan tells a story of an ambitious young journalist, Joan, who moves into an old Victorian house only to discover that it was the site of a gruesome murder years ago. What started as her curiosity towards the house's history turns into a suspense-filled nightmare as she begins to experience haunting events and uncovers dreadful secrets about its previous occupants. As Joan realizes that her life is eerily similar to the house's former inhabitant who was brutally killed, she must fight her fears to find the truth before she becomes a part of the house's perilous history. In a tale interspersed with alarming twists, the book explores themes of obsession, karma, and the tenuous line that separates the living from the dead.
