Summary
A woman of limited means and even less experience must confront a vengeful spirit in this haunting novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Broken Girls and The Sun Down Motel.
1920s England. Sarah Piper’s lonely, threadbare existence changes when her temporary agency sends her to assist an obsessed ghost hunter. Alistair Gellis—rich, handsome, and scarred by World War I—has been summoned to investigate the spirit of the nineteen-year-old maid Maddy Clare, who is said to haunt the barn where she committed suicide.
Maddy hated men in life, and she will not speak to them in death. But Sarah is unprepared to confront an angry ghost—real or imagined—on her own. She’s even less prepared for the arrival of Alistair’s associate, rough, unsettling Matthew Ryder, also a veteran of the trenches, whose scars go deeper than Sarah can reach.
Soon, Sarah is caught up in a desperate struggle. For Maddy’s ghost is no hoax—she’s real, she’s angry, and she has powers that defy all reason. Now, Sarah and Matthew must discover who Maddy was, where she came from, and what is driving her desire for vengeance—before she destroys them all....

Critic reviews
Winner of two RITA Awards from the Romance Writers of America and the Arthur Ellis Award from Crime Writers of Canada
“St. James has written an atmospheric and resoundingly old-fashioned ghost story that pulls you in from the first pages.”—Historical Novels Review
“A chilling start...fans of the modern Gothic novel will enjoy filling up a few creepy hours.”—Kirkus Reviews
“With a fresh, unique voice, Simone St. James creates an atmosphere that is deliciously creepy and a heroine you won't soon forget. The Haunting of Maddy Clare promises spooky thrills and it delivers. Read it, enjoy it—but don't turn out the lights!”—Deanna Raybourn, author of the Julia Grey series and of The Dark Enquiry

Not bad, good be better.
I think if I had known it had a romance story in the middle of it randomly.. I might not have listened for it. the story itself was pretty good.. it was slightly predictable and the breathy performance put me off a bit. All in all it kept my interest and I finished it. Good characters.

Absolutely loved this- couldn’t put it down !
Absolutely loved this - couldn’t put it down - yes a romance develops during the course of the book but I don’t think it detracts from the story - I have devoured everything I can get my hands on from this author ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
