With Linden Manor, Catherine Cavendish has perfectly captured the essence of gothic horror: a slow, creepy build towards a terrifying ending. Lesley Carpenter travels to Linden Manor to research an old nursery rhyme her great-grandmother used to sing to her. Only once there, she discovers much more than she bargained for. Linden Manor holds many secrets, and ghosts are just one. Death waits around every darkened corner, and the clues to the puzzle reveal themselves slowly enough to build tension but not so slowly as to make a reader lose interest. Within the first pages, one can imagine being inside that giant house, which devolves from a grand old mansion to a prison filled with evil and danger. Cavendish even delivers an ending that is sure to send chills up your spine. I heartily recommend this book!
