Book Synopsis
An original and exciting thriller based on a true North York Moors legend that will keep you up at night turning the pages. DO YOU BELIEVE IN GHOSTS? Grace Winter didn’t until her world was turned upside down when her mother died, and she inherited a house on the North York Moors that her family had kept a secret from her. When Grace takes a break from her job as a busy London doctor and visits the house for the first time with close friends Evie and Samantha, the women find themselves caught up in a murder. But this is no ordinary murder. A young man has been killed at Lowna Ford, a place locals believe is haunted by Kitty Garthwaite’s ghost and where this ghost is said to have killed men before. As Evie becomes obsessed with the legend of Kitty and starts to lose her grip on reality, the police suspect her of the murder. Weighed down by grief, Evie’s breakdown, and ghostly sightings in and around the house, Grace starts to doubt her own sanity. Is the ghost of Kitty Garthwaite real? Does her ghost sit naked on the riverbank at Lowna and lure young men to their deaths as the legend says? As secrets unravel further, Grace and her two friends find themselves in extreme danger. Is Kitty’s ghost coming for them? Or is the killer all too real?
