About this listen

 When a mysterious figure shows up in the photograph an architect takes of the derelict Seabrink Hotel, ghostly encounters and murder are unleashed.

Aubrey Spencer loves photographing classic old buildings and abandoned places that hold old secrets. The Hotel Seabrink, perched overlooking the sea, is one such place. Currently abandoned but scheduled for a major renovation, it has a torrid history. Back in the 1920s it hosted A-list celebrity clientele, and now the locals insist it is haunted by the ghosts of two young women who died there. When Aubrey goes to photograph the site before the renovation begins, she bumps into a man named Dimitri Petroff, a minor online celebrity who shares her fascination with old buildings, the Hotel Seabrink in particular.

When he is found dead the next day at the base of a cliff, the police are quick to close the investigation. But Aubrey feels unsettled by locals who claim he was murdered and that it’s not the first time someone interested in the hotel was killed. As she digs deeper into the property’s dark history (and its origins as an asylum) as well as Dimitri’s professional rivalries, she becomes mired in an unsolved murder case from several decades earlier, one with eerie parallels to the contemporary case. But someone is determined to keep her from discovering the truth—at any cost. Amateur Sleuths Crime Ghosts Horror Mystery Supernatural Thriller & Suspense Women Sleuths Haunted Funny Murder

Critic reviews

"Gothic mystery with modern edge, perfect for fans of haunted history, true crime tangents, and hotels that should’ve stayed condemned."—Daily Mom

“Readers who remember Barbara Michaels’s wonderfully ghostly genre-blurring novels and fans of newer authors such as Jennifer McMahon and Riley Sager will be beguiled by Blackwell’s chilling, supernatural literary treat.”—Library Journal

“This atmospheric standalone from Blackwell offers supernatural mystery fans a hearty helping of murder, ghosts, and doomed love at a long-abandoned hotel overlooking the Pacific Ocean.”—Publishers Weekly
