If you are looking for a suspense filled tale, this author does not disappoint. You begin to wonder what is happening when a successful woman returns to her hometown to eradicate the sorrow and scorn the place had for her and her family while growing up. She buys a huge house to renovate. The man of the couple that owned is thought to have been murdered by a serial killer and his ghost inhabits the house. She visits the wife of the man and two, then three creepy individuals are introduced. She reconnects with an artistic friend from high school days and hears more about the discovery of human bones and dog bones over the years. She is even plagued with recurring dream of a man in the shadows pointing at something. A river excursion with another high school friend who had a near death experience finds them discovering more human bones on a sand bar. The man who experienced near death has written about it and is on many meds. She shows him her house and the remodel dreams while she pours then juice from her fridge. She wakes hours later with a pounding headache and can barely move. She finally finds her friend downstairs just off the kitchen. He isn’t moving. The police arrive. The man has another near death experience and people begin to suspect him as he had a different drug in his system than she did. The police try to determine who did the drugging and find evidence that someone has been entering her house. Those footsteps and noises she has heard weren’t from the old house creaking. Her artist friend does a painting as she describes the man in her dream. It is the former owner of the house. His bones and those of another dog are buried beneath the workshop she had the remodel crew remove. How did he get there? She begins to suspect everyone, including the man she has fallen for and leaves him. Later she realizes she has panicked, but it is too late. What if she wasn’t wrong? Then she sees all the photos of the found bones including those under the workshop she had removed and realizes who and how to prove it. The police agree to use her plan to catch the serial killer who has been operating for years. The story becomes a page turning suspense. Will the killer outsmart her and the police? There is always that chance and she will never reconnect with the man she loves; or will she?
