I received a complimentary copy of this book through Netgalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. <br />Tessa's world is falling apart. After filming a documentary to help a man she believed was wrongfully convicted of a murder get free, he kidnaps the police chief's daughter. Believing another woman dead, the public and the victim's family turn against Tessa for helping free him. Then Tessa's mother dies unexpectedly. She returns home and the strained relationship between her and her twin, Margot, and the press camped out on her doorstep leave her nowhere to go but an isolated, crumbling estate in rural Pennsylvania that her mother left in her will. Mystery and tragedy surround Fallbrook and the only way to discover the truth about the history of the place is through the two aging sisters who are caretakers. As more of the past is revealed, Tessa discovers that some stories should never be told.<br />Wow what a great story! Two storylines converge in this creepy setting of a crumbling murder house. The truth about the past history of the house was shocking, I never saw it coming, especially the connection to Tessa herself. The mystery in the present with Oliver was a little predictable but helped support the plot and the action of the rest of the story.
