Some stories will haunt you for a long time and this is
one of them.
Grace and her husband have moved into a cottage in the
moors with their new baby. It’s the
start of a new chapter as Grace starts to come to terms with leaving
London. Christmas is coming and a new
year promises great things, until Grace opens the front door to find her child
sleeping peacefully in her pram and no husband.
A year later, Grace returns determined to discover what
happened to her husband on that cold winter day. Filled with tales of ghosts and omens, Grace
fights her fears to uncover why her husband was gone. Everyone around her feels she should just
move on but how can she when she has so many unanswered questions.
The story is frightening, sad and full of twists and turns. It reminds me of Mary Stewart’s
mysteries. You just never know what dark
secrets people harbor until you start digging.
Not everyone will come out of this alive but Grace won’t stop until she
knows the truth.
I was captivated by Sara Foster’s book. The life on the moors is enchanting and yet
harbors its own secrets. Are there
ghosts on the moor? What is up with the
grandfather clock that stops when it wants and seems to still keep time?
There’s a touch of romance and sweetness in this
book. Beneath the Shadows deserves a
place with other gothic mysteries such as Rebecca and Wuthering Heights. There are far more things to be frightened of
than ghosts and they are all here.
