Suspense is normally a genre I don’t read because, well, it’s so intense. But every once in a while I happen upon a book I just can’t put down. Like the one written by my friend, Fay Lamb, that will be well-worth your time.
The walls have ears … and voices. Voices that threaten …
Abra Carmichael’s husband, Beau, has been murdered. She begins to realize that the man she loved was never who he seemed. Beau’s secrets endanger Abra, their twin sons, and everyone who loved him. When Abra’s life and the lives of their boys are threatened, she flees to Amazing Grace, North Carolina, and to Beau’s family–people she never knew existed until the day of Beau’s funeral.
For six years Shane Browne, an award-winning songwriter had both wished for and dreaded the return of his cousin. Beau’s departure from their small hometown left behind his family and his inheritance, a grand Victorian with its legend of secret passages, which lay empty. Empty until Abra moves to Amazing Grace, into the house Beau willed to her only weeks before his death. Shane finds himself deeply drawn to Abra and her sons, desiring a future with them and his daughter.
But the danger follows Abra to the peacefulness of the North Carolina mountains. Abra and Shane are both threatened, and Abra claims to hear noises deep within the walls of the old home. Shane will do everything possible to keep Abra and her boys safe, even if that means revealing secrets of his own that will completely shatter Abra’s already broken heart and destroy his relationship with everyone he loves.
