I thought I'd burned myself out on ghoulish horror novels set in the British countryside, but I settled into this one like a warm bath. Easily my favorite of the Taylor I've read so far.
Can overwhelming dark power be imparted onto the trapped, restless spirit of one unexpectedly killed after committing acts of passionate murder? Such is the case in this slow unwinding of a ghostly tale set in an idyllic location. Hidden secrets surround the deaths of Englishman David Warwick's twin brother Colin and his wife Helen at their beautiful cottage and gardens within the English countryside. Receiving a dark premonition, David has travelled from his home in New York to see his brother, only to find that Colin and his wife Helen have both recently died under tragic circumstances near their beautiful cottage home. As David picks away at the suspicious unknowns surrounding the deaths and learns more about the tragic history surrounding the cottage he now has inherited, he will be slowly trapped like a fly in a spiders web by a ghostly evil. But will he have enough strength to protect his loving fiancé Shelagh from the evil when she travels from America to be with him? The tension builds and builds toward a final horror-filled, unforgettable conclusion.
