4*
After a whirlwind romance, a young woman returns to the opulent, secluded mansion of her new fiancé Max Winter - a wealthy senator and recent widower - and a life of luxury she’s never known. But all is not as it appears at the Asherley estate. The house is steeped in the memory of Max’s beautiful first wife Rebekah, who haunts the young woman’s imagination and feeds her uncertainties, while his very alive teenage daughter Dani makes her life a living hell.
As the soon-to-be second Mrs. Winter grows more in love with Max, and more afraid of Dani, she is drawn deeper into the family’s dark secrets - the kind of secrets that could kill her, too
A haunting tale in a haunting setting, The Winters was very suspenseful.
At first it seems that the bride to be has hit it lucky and will live happy ever after in a rich home with a rich man, but all is not what it seems and disturbing things begin to come to light, including Max’s difficult, troubled daughter Dani.
The characters were interesting, though I can’t say I warmed to any of them, except maybe Dani, eventually, pity was a big emotion here as she was obviously unhinged and grief stricken.
The plot was full of suspense and unease, the atmosphere charged with foreboding, well written and evenly paced, I enjoyed this psychological thriller and will read more from this Author.
