The dead woman said my name as we crossed the water.
Audiobook narrator Mara Venn has one job: record the memoir of her late client, Dr. Lenora Harcourt, inside the isolated coastal house where Lenora died. She has another reason for coming that no one at Blackwater House is supposed to know - Lenora's husband may know what really happened to Mara's sister, five years ago, in this same family's orbit.
Audiobook narrator Mara Venn has one job: record the memoir of her late client, Dr. Lenora Harcourt, inside the isolated coastal house where Lenora died. She has another reason for coming that no one at Blackwater House is supposed to know - Lenora's husband may know what really happened to Mara's sister, five years ago, in this same family's orbit.
Then the recordings start speaking back.
Lenora's voice moves through the house at night, asking questions only the dead should know to ask. Her husband calls it grief playing tricks. Her teenage daughter calls it her mother, still trying to finish a confession. And as the causeway floods and the storm closes in, Mara begins to suspect the voice isn't coming from beyond the grave at all - it's coming from the same technology that made Lenora famous, turned against the people who trusted her with their secrets.
Every room in this house was built to listen. Mara is about to learn what it heard - and what it's been waiting for her to say.
A gothic, slow-burn psychological thriller for readers who want their unreliable narrators implicated, not just haunted.
