Haunted Hearts
Librarian Note: Alternate Cover Edition for ISBN10: 1503257657 / ISBN13: 9781503257658.
The team in charge of the gardens at Moorecroft Hall really believed they’d invented the idea a Grey Lady running along a haunted track, screaming for her husband to save her from the executioners axe, in order to draw in the punters on dark winter’s nights. But they were wrong.
Through chance, or a conspiracy of fates, the track along which they’d set their imaginary ghost to run really had been haunted. Haunted for longer than the house had stood. Haunted by a constantly recurring cycle of love, betrayal and murder, which had already continued for centuries, and seemed likely to be repeated ad infinitum, unless someone came along to break the cycle somehow. But was that ever likely to happen after it had been going on for so long? And if so how?
Haunted Hearts. A supernatural love story.

I received this book for free from Goodreads First Reads.
An intriguing tale of love and murder told by two ghosts.

I received this book from a Goodreads giveaway. A good build up of suspense with some surprises in the ending. A lot of the answers to what was happening were provided in the last quarter of the book. For example, it was hard to understand the motives of the female character until you understood the context of the past. This book would have benefited from a prologue to tie the present to the past and to increase the spooky factor. Overall, a good premise/story but could use some editing.

I received this book as a giveaway. The premise intrigued me so much, I had to read it right away.
It is a compelling story, told mostly through dialogue. The characters are well-developed, except for the narrator. The big revelation could have had more build-up or clues. Or maybe I just didn't see them. Still, it was a good ending.
This book feels like it could have done with more editing. It's a gem that really needs more polishing.
