Some houses remember what the world tried to forget.
When three empty-nest friends purchase a neglected 1860s Greek Revival in San Antonio's historic district, they believe they're investing in a renovation project-and a fresh start.
They aren't expecting the attic footsteps.
Or the woman in white.
Ellen has always been practical, skeptical, grounded in reality. But when strange occurrences escalate and long-buried records surface, even she can't ignore the truth: the house is holding onto something.
Decades earlier, the property operated as a private medical residence for women-patients declared unstable, difficult, or hysterical. Their diagnoses were signed. Their confinement justified. Their stories erased.
Until now.
As Ellen, Sue, and Tanya dig into hospital archives, interview guarded neighbors, and uncover evidence someone doesn't want exposed, they realize this isn't just a haunting.
It's a reckoning.
Because the women who suffered behind those walls were silenced in life.
And they will not remain silent in death.
In this gripping opening to the Mystery House Series, friendship, history, and the supernatural collide in a story about forgotten voices, buried truths, and three women brave enough to listen.
Content Note: This novel explores historical injustices, including references to sexual assault within the context of institutional abuse.
They begin a dangerous quest digging into the real history behind the Gold House. What they find will blow your mind! My heart was racing throughout this entire book. If you believe in ghosts or even if you don't, I suggest reading by a lamp. I jumped several times as if a movie were playing inside my mind. . . . The three women in this book are wonderful. This is definitely a must-read. 5 stars for Eva! Well done!!--Book Lover Reviews ★★★★★
This captivating tale of three friends setting out to renovate and flip a house is definitely not your average haunted house story. The three lead characters and all the other people in this story (whether major players or merely peripheral persons) are so carefully crafted with their own unique personalities and attributes that they spring to life in the reader's mind. The story, itself, is mesmerizing with all the back-story details of the characters' lives and especially with the convoluted and macabre history of The Gold House (the house purchased by our leading ladies). This is one of those stories that is achingly hard to put down when bedtime rolls around or something requires your immediate attention. It really is that good.--txdoc, Amazon Reviewer ★★★★★
This is a real page turner. Riveting, and exciting. The characters are very well written, its easy to read and you won't want to put it down.--Southermermaid85, Amazon Reviewer ★★★★★
