This book is SUCH an elaborate story. So many layers across so many years, all connected by a haunting that stems from a mysterious death.
Our present day heroine Elodie is an archivist who uncovers some mysteries in an old leather satchel, which of course leads her to investigate in person. But we're also following the story of the 19th century ghost of a young woman who's somehow connected to a famous artist and has never left Birchwood Manor, where Elodie is trying to uncover the truth.
The book weaves in and out of all the people who have visited Birchwood Manor throughout the years, and how they're all touched by the mysteries surrounding the estate and the presence(s) there. It is honestly a LONG build up, but well worth it in the end. I promise 😉😏
