Whispers on the Stairs

Chloe wants one thing: to be a good mother. But a past tragedy for which she blames herself, leaves her without the confidence to care for her newborn.

Living in a cliff-top mansion overlooking Lake Superior, Chloe struggles to make it through each day without something going catastrophically wrong. So, when her husband and sister-in-law must both be away for several weeks, Chloe panics.

She hires a retired nanny, who worked for the family thirty years ago. From the moment she arrives, Chloe fears she’s made a terrible mistake. The woman has a garish appearance, a brusque demeanor, and a past that includes the mysterious deaths of three young children.

When her baby disappears, Chloe knows the nanny is behind it. But how can she convince the police of that when someone has informed them of her history of mental illness? A fact that she herself can’t deny. She’s even been seeing the ghost of her husband’s mother. Did Chloe take her baby somewhere and can’t remember?

A chilling gothic suspense novel that explores grief, isolation, and madness. It will grip you from the first page to the shocking climax.

Welcome to the creepy castle. We don’t get many visitors. We’re completely isolated here – nothing but barren landscape for miles around. I hope you were careful out there on the sea cliff. The rocks get very slippery with this perpetual mist, and it’s a 100-foot drop. We’ve already lost someone that way, but we try not to dwell.
