Book SynopsisTrade Review“[In] this solid supernatural thriller…Webb succeeds in escalating suspense while keeping her story grounded, but goes full-on Exorcist for the finale.” —Publishers Weekly “Webb’s (The Vanishing, 2014) fourth novel is a high-energy ride peppered with just the right amount of romance seeking, coffee drinking, and wine sipping.” —Booklist “Tantalizing…[The End of Temperance Dare] could well be played on a Clue game board, with macabre crimes, inexplicable disappearances, and enough eerie suspense to drive one mad.” —Minneapolis Star Tribune “The story creates an eerie feeling of impending danger, and keeps you reading with the lights on. If you enjoy tales of suspense and horror, you will find this a clever work. Webb takes you into the dark places and holds you spellbound with terror.” —SeattlePI “There’s an irresistible pull to a haunted-house story told well, and The End of Temperance Dare is told very well indeed.…The story takes place on the shores of Lake Superior, with very of-the-moment characters, while drawing potent atmosphere from the richly drawn location. As the plot tightens, the strange loveliness of the manor on the lake takes hold.” —The Big Thrill “A deftly crafted and consistently compelling novel by an author with a genuine flair for originality…Unreservedly recommended.” —Midwest Book Review “There were more than enough creepy moments, mysteries to solve, and even some romance thrown in…This book was perfect.” —San Francisco Book Review “Wendy Webb is a pro at providing all the trappings of a good Gothic mystery.…A fun read.” —Criminal Element “With a creepy Gothic setting and some ghostly chills, this is a good spooky mystery…” —The Parkersburg News and Sentinel “Chilling…” —Gumshoe Review “Spine-chilling…Wendy Webb does haunted houses better than just about anyone.” —Pioneer Press
