    About this audiobook

    A single woman from a family that is well-off, buys a house at a place that is looked down upon and disapproved by her family and friends alike. Her reason - she wants to live the life of and know people like that. (This book's got one of the cutest romantic endings I've ever read). What is surprising is this book is in the PD - there are quite a few modern expressions and comparatively less quaint, out-of-fashion expressions. (Summary by Neeru Iyer)

      Wannabe authors compete for a to-die-for prize The title of this novel is a little misleading. It sounds like it’s set to be a sweet, cosy story, when actually it’s a twisty thriller, darkly gothic and more than a little unhinged. The Writing Retreat
