Many thanks to NetGalley, Ballantine Books, and Tess Gerritsen for the opportunity to read and review her latest thriller. I have been a huge fan of Gerritsen's stand alone books as well as her Rizzoli & Isles series so was very excited to be able to read her new book.
Ava is escaping her life and past in Boston when she rents an old mansion in a small town on the coast of Maine. The house is named Brodie's Watch after the sea captain who had it built, but was then lost at sea. Ava thinks she found the perfect location to perfect the recipes she wants to include in her cookbook based on New England foods and history. Then Ava finds out that the renter before her left suddenly and is not returning emails. She starts having encounters with a ghostly figure that looks like Capt Brodie and even visits a "ghostbuster" to try and figure out if her house is indeed haunted.
While this is a bit different from Gerritsen's other books, the wonderful writing and suspense will keep you glued to the pages. I loved the setting of the book - the fog and craggy shoreline and creepy house descriptions enhance the storyline. Great read!
