The House on Abigail Lane by Kealan Patrick Burke
5.0
dark mysterious medium-paced
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

I always know when I pick up a Kealan Patrick Burke book that it's going to deliver, and this was no exception.
 
It has a factual tone to the narrative as we are drip fed the sinister history of Number 56 Abigail Lane and the people who lived within its shadow. And this is so brilliantly crafted by the author that you are left wondering if maybe, just maybe, this house existed.

I love that it incorporates real life events. It's such a great grounding for a story. And even though the characters aren't on the page for long, you feel for them, which is the mark of a writer at the top of his game.

Whatever Kealan feeds his imagination with, I want some. So many creepy AF moments!

A haunted house story, yes. But unlike one you've ever read.
