vanessa savage the woman in the dark
For Sarah and Patrick, family life has always been easy, until her mothers death sends Sarah spiraling into depression. When she overdoses on sleeping pills, Sarah insists it was an accident, but neither Patrick nor their teenage children believe her. Determined to give their family a fresh start, Patrick convinces her to move back to the idyllic beachside home where he grew up. But theres a catch: The once-beautiful old house is now known as the Murder House. It has been standing empty for fifteen years, ever since another family was brutally slaughtered within its walls. Nostalgic for his childhood, Patrick is adamant that this can be their "dream home" again. Sarah tries to bring it back to its original warmth, but as locals hint that the house is haunted, the children begin having nightmares, strange writing appears on the walls, and creepy "gifts" suddenly arrive on the doorstep at odd hours. With the news that the murderer has been paroled, Sarah cant shake the feeling that something just isnt right. Not with the house, not with the town, not even with her own loving husband--whose stories about his perfect childhood suddenly arent adding up. Can Sarah uncover the secrets of the Murder House before another family is destroyed?
