This week I'm featuring the first book in a new series of standalone mysteries by Christy Barritt, The Cottage on Ghost Lane.
Come back to me.
Cole Dalton’s wife, Caroline, had the words etched onto a pendant for him. Each time he deployed overseas as a military bomb tech, she stitched the pendant into his uniform. Cole returned safely from the battlefield . . . only to bury his wife after a tragic car accident.
Cole moves into their beachside cottage to both heal and find closure after Caroline’s death. But on the first day he arrives, he finds an intruder searching for something and desperate enough to kill.
Mysterious incidents continue to occur, leading Cole to ask: Was Caroline hiding something in the months before she died? But what? And why?
As danger closes in and a storm lingers off the coast, Cole must find answers. But ghosts of the past have a stranglehold on him. With his heart on the line, he must overcome the grief haunting him . . . or his story will become part of his cottage’s tragic history.

The haunted look remained in Cole's gaze. He was obviously still trying to work through all this.

DeleteOh wow that blurb in and of itself had a twist! Definitely intrigued now, and I would also absolutely rent a cottage on something called Ghost Lane, even if that's just asking for trouble! Thanks for sharing and I hope you have a lovely weekend :)
