Late for her first day on the job as a real estate agent,
Claire Scanlan knows she's not starting her new career off
with a bang. When the agency owner gives her and another
new agent an opportunity at becoming the listing agent for
a spectacular—yet un-sellable—house, Claire jumps at the
chance to prove she has what it takes. All she has to do is
convince the seller, Ben Grant, she's the better agent for
the job. Once she's in the house though, she's not so sure
anymore. There's something about the house that just isn't
right, and Claire seems to be the only one who can sense it.
Fascinated with the house even though it creeps her out,
Claire is equally fascinated with Ben, who is the brother
of one of the murder victims. When Ben gives Claire the
listing to the house even after she has a mini-meltdown
during the walk through, it becomes the perfect opportunity
to get to know Ben better. The more she knows about the
house and Ben though, the more she's questioning her
judgment. Her newfound paranormal senses are telling her
something isn't right about the story Ben has told her in
regards to what happened the night of the killings. Now,
not only does she have an un-sellable house to contend
with, but she's also potentially consorting with a man who
murdered his brother and his family in cold blood.
With its slow pace and gradual build-up, Margaret Lucke
starts her new Supernatural Properties series with a
haunted house that'll have you hiding under your blanket.
HOUSE OF WHISPERS is an intriguing mystery that keeps you
guessing at the identity of the killer down to the very
last second. The rivalry between Claire and her co-worker
Avery is something, I think, we can all relate to. Avery's
the kind of character you love to hate, yet you can't help
feeling sorry for her either. Of all the characters in this
book, I think Avery's was probably the best developed even
though this wasn't her book, so I'm hoping she gets her own
story next. If thrills, chills and a good case of whodunit
is your thing, be sure to add HOUSE OF WHISPERS to your
must buy list.
Claire Scanlan is launching a new career in real estate and
has a chance to sell a spectacular oceanview home designed
by a world-renowned architect. But the home has a problem
that frightens off buyers - it was the site of a vicious
mass murder.
As Ben Grant, the handsome, successful brother
of one of the murder victims, shows Claire and a real estate
rival the empty house, Claire experiences strange
sensations. The unexplainable experiences continue and the
idea that the place might be haunted both fascinates and
repels her.
Claire is also fascinated, and not at all
repelled, by Ben Grant. Claire realizes the psychic
experiences are real and must solve the mystery of the
bloody tragedy - even though Ben seems to be a suspect.
