About this listen

 We’ll meet again…

When Ali inherits her great-aunt’s house she immediately moves her whole family in, despite the warnings that there is something strange about the place.

Unfazed, Ali begins redecorating, going through the rooms, making each one her own with the help of her daughter, Kelly. But when under the wallpaper in Kelly’s new room they discover a scrawled message from 1944, Ali begins to question the history of the house as she knows it.

Her family has always seemed so picture perfect, not a blemish or a secret to be found. Yet, this discovery throws her into confusion and Ali begins to question exactly what she knows about her family and the mysteries they have kept hidden…

Perfect for fans of The Emerald Comb, Rachel Hore and Kate Morton

absolutely lovely story, very captivating to listen to all the different twist and turns in events. I must have to admit **SPOILER ALERT** I found the part about the suicide very heartbreaking and probably would not have listened to this knowing that was in there as someone who has lost a father to this, It hit quite hard to hear. so I would warn anyone that is very effected by that to possibly steer clear. other than this problem the rest was brilliant. very much enjoying Kathleen mcgurls stories.

another brilliant story 👏
