In this eerie book from the New York Times bestselling author of The Broken Girls and The Sun Down Motel, a lady with little money and much less experience has to face a vengeful ghost.
UK in the 1920s. When Sarah Piper's temporary agency assigns her to help a fanatical ghost hunter, her lonely, worn-out life takes a turn for the better. Rich, attractive, and wounded in the First World War, Alistair Gellis has been called in to look into the ghost of 19-year-old maid Maddy Clare, who is said to haunt the barn where she committed herself.
In life, Maddy detested men, and in death, she would not talk to them. However, Sarah is ill-equipped to deal with an enraged ghost—real or imagined—by herself. When Alistair's partner, the gruff, eerie Matthew Ryder—a fellow trench veteran with wounds deeper than Sarah can see—arrives, she is even less ready.
Sarah soon finds herself entangled in a last-ditch battle. Because Maddy's ghost is genuine, furious, and endowed with abilities that transcend logic, she is not a fake. Now, before Maddy murders them all, Sarah and Matthew need to find out who Maddy was, where she came from, and what is motivating her thirst for revenge.
