2017
Carly Kirk has never been able to let go of the story of her aunt Viv. She decides to move to Fell and take a job at the hotel - as a night clerk - to try to get to the bottom of the mystery.

And if Carly can't work out the truth soon, then she's in line to be the next victim . . .

Never read/listened to this author before but the reviews made me.
This was such a good listen, spooky, mysterious and cleverly written.
All the characters were great strong women and it’s a good read for autumn.

quirky story where a young woman decides to search for an aunt who disappeared years ago. it's told both in her voice and the aunts, and is mostly a thriller/mystery story, but casts in doses of the supernatural for colour and atmosphere. it moves along briskly with a few twists and turns, some more unexpected than others. its not one to class as a literary work but it's fun and entertaining.

I accidentally came across this author on a Facebook Post and decided to try this audiobook.
Well I really enjoyed the story, characters and plot.
On the strength of this I have already downloaded another book of hers The Book of Cold Cases.
