What this book is about
Declan Fitzgerald buys a ruined antebellum mansion in Louisiana and begins to restore it — while experiencing visions of a tragedy from a century ago. Lena Simone, the woman who runs the bar down the road, is connected to the house's past in ways neither of them understands yet. Roberts's standalone is atmospheric, romantic, and satisfyingly spooky.
