About this listen

Munro House is the new start Stella needs. But it will also draw her back to a dark past...

Devastated by a broken engagement, Stella Jackson leaves her old life behind for a new start in rural Scotland. But when she arrives in the remote coastal village of Arisaig, nothing is what she expected.

At the edge of Arisaig sits Munro House; grand, imposing and said to be cursed by a string of tragic deaths. No less intriguing is its eccentric and handsome young owner, Jamie Munro, who hires Stella as his assistant while he pursues a seemingly impossible aim. Working through the great house's archives, Stella soon finds herself drawn in by a cache of increasingly erratic letters from a young Victorian woman about her husband, Dr James Lockhart, a man whose single-minded ambition has strange parallels with Jamie's.

Just as Stella begins developing feelings for Jamie, she discovers that the connection between the Lockharts and the Munros could have sinister repercussions for them both. She's finally found the life she wants to live - but is it all an illusion?

It's not an earth shattering story but it's well worth a listen. Very well read and well written. You can see the plot points but the characters see you through nicely. I certainly don't feel like I wasted my time.

Very well written and read

I enjoyed listening to this story by an author new to me. The dual timeline worked well and I particularly enjoyed the medical intrigue. I enjoyed the chronic illness story running through the book.

Fascinating Story
