This is a modern Gothic thriller to put on your radar!
Tim Ellison has been in a rut lately. He has spent his time sleeping on his ex-girlfriend’s couch, working in a restaurant, and surfing.
Life isn’t quite what he expected. But he does know one thing….it’s time to move out of his ex’s house.
Tim finds a cheap room rental at Fairview, when he shows up he is expecting to see a heap but instead he finds a mansion.
Built in 1890, Fairview is a beautiful mansion boasting some of the best views in Sydney. It’s owned by Anna London who inherited the house after her parents’ deaths.
In exchange for the cheap rent, Tim has one job: to look after Anna. Though she is in her twenties, she acts more like an elderly woman. She also never leaves her house as she suffers from a severe anxiety disorder. But it seems like a fair gig to Tim so he takes the post.
British mysteries are some of my favorite books to read….especially those set in either the Victorian or Regency eras. Who doesn’t love a good murder by gaslight novel?
If you love Jane Austen you need to move this book up to the top of your TBR list immediately!
In the darkest corners of New York City, LAST WORDS examines the city during its harshest period in 1975.
Tudor lit is always a favorite sub genre for those who write historic fiction. And why not, it’s a ruthless age full of romance, intrigue, and political unrest. There is a lot for authors to draw inspiration.
