Tricia and Ethan are on the hunt for their dream home but get snowed in at a large manor house  that once belonged to Dr. Adrienne Hale, a respected psychiatrist who disappeared mysteriously some years earlier. Tricia discovers a hidden room in the house, with all Hale's consultation audio transcripts. This inspires Tricia to find what happened to Hale.  But, is that all which she will discover?  A fast paced atmospheric psychological thriller with loads of unexpected twists and turns.  The breadcrumbs are there but the reader really needs to keep up with his or her deductions .  Masterfully written.
