Coram House
by Bailey Seybolt
mysterious
tense
medium-paced
“The past is never dead. It’s not even past.”
Coram House is about Alex Kelley-a widowed true crime writer who signs on to ghost write the story of Coram House, a since closed Catholic orphanage with a back story of abuse, scandal, and tragedy, Alex becomes determined to solve the mystery of a young boy who “disappeared.” Some say he drowned. Others say he ran away. It’s like he never existed. While Alex investigates, witnesses suddenly start dropping like flies. Alex must finish her manuscript and solve the mystery and hope she is not next.
I was transfixed by this book and became so invested in Coram House’s back story, much like Alex. Also like Alex, I tried so hard to predict the ending and did not see the twist coming at the end. This was a great mystery/thriller that had me at the edge of my seat.
