Following the deaths of her last living relatives, Hetty Deveraux returns to her ancestral home, a crumbling estate in Scotland’s Outer Hebrides, with the intention of renovating and reselling it as a hotel. As she dives headfirst into the repairs, she discovers human remains beneath a rotting floorboard in the basement. Hungry for answers, Hetty sets out to unravel the estate’s secret-and those of its former inhabitants, including Beatrice Blake, a woman who moved there a century ago with her husband Theo, a famous painter. Following whispered rumors and a handful of leads, Hetty soon discovers that no one knows exactly what happened to Beatrice, only that her actions have reverberated throughout history, affecting Hetty’s present in startling ways.

“Narrator Justine Eyre imbues Maine’s debut novel with just the right sense of gothic mystery. In 1910, newlyweds Beatrice and Theo Blake move to Theo’s estate, Muirlan House, on Muirlan Island in Scotland’s Outer Hebrides. In 2010, Theo’s distant relative, Hetty Deveraux, becomes the estate’s new owner. …. Eyre delivers the alternating time periods and characters, keeping the voices unique and the period diction spot-on. …. It’s all somewhat predictable, but in the nicest way, Eyre makes this entertaining listening.” — AudioFile
