The small town of Eastbrook,
Maine seemed like the close-knit community where newlyweds Dean and Elizabeth
Montgomery could begin their lives together, and the 1901 Victorian seemed like
the house they’d always dreamed of owning. The only condition for purchasing
the property was that it was sold in “as-is” condition.
When the couple arrives in
Eastbrook, they receive anything but a warm welcome from the local residents.
And when they realize that as-is condition meant that the previous owner of the
house had left every worldly possession behind, the dream of the small town
life starts to take a mysterious turn.
Day after day, Dean and
Elizabeth uncover more truths than they could have ever imagined, or ever
wanted to know about the secrets that were hidden in the small town of
Eastbrook. And as neighbors become growingly hostile with every encounter, this
young couple searches furiously to uncover what the residents are trying to
hide.
As their journey unfolds,
Elizabeth goes missing and Dean must turn to the very neighbors he fears may
have known what would happen to her from the moment the couple arrived for
help. Because in this town, some secrets are better off hidden.
Excerpt:
The car grumbled to a stop at the end of
the gravel driveway. The three-day car trip was finally over. The gas station
food and bathrooms stops were all behind them. They were home. The house might
have been filled with someone else’s belongings, but they owned it now.
The house looked
like a postcard from the outside. Small shrubs lined each side of the driveway
as it suspiciously winded its way to the front porch. The grass was wet with
dew after the recent rain.
As though
looking at a piece of abstract art, Dean and Elizabeth both leaned forward in
their seats toward the dash and squinted from inside the window of the car.
Their eyes moved from left to right, making sure to taste every detail that
first met their view.
“It’s gorgeous.”
Elizabeth peered out from beneath the windshield.
With her eyes
squinted and her mouth opened slightly, she studied every feature of
architecture as though the house would greet her with an exam before allowing
her to enter. She broke her concentration from the house and pressed her hand
to the passenger side window, looking up and down to visually imprint every
detail that awaited.
