An atmospheric historical suspense novel rich with familial secrets. The House at Helygen is a twisted tale of dark pasts, murderous presents and uncertain futures. 2019 When Henry Fox is found dead in his ancestral home in Cornwall, the police rule it a suicide, but his pregnant wife, Josie, believes it was murder. Desperate to make sense of Henry' s death she embarks on a quest to learn the truth, all under the watchful eyes of Henry' s overbearing mother. Josie soon finds herself wrestling against the dark history of Helygen House and ghosts from the past that refuse to stay buried. 1881 New bride Eliza arrives at Helygen House with high hopes for her marriage. Yet when she meets her new mother-in-law, an icy and forbidding woman, her dreams of a new life are dashed. And when Eliza starts to hear voices in the walls of the house, she begins to fear for her sanity and her life. Can Josie piece together the past to make sense of her present, or will the secrets of Helygen House and its inhabitants forever remain a mystery?
I thoroughly enjoyed The House at Helygen, an intriguing tale of dark family secrets that unravel down the generations with devastating consequences. Mysterious, atmospheric and chilling * Anita Frank * A thrilling read, led by dynamic women that call out through the centuries. The House at Helygen is inventive, haunting, and skilfully crafted * Phoebe Wynne * Dark, disturbing and utterly compelling. I couldn' t put it down * Liz Fenwick * The House at Helygen is a great read. I was pinned to its pages. Thrilling and impossible to put down, with a split narrative that leaves you breathlessly wanting more * Nydia Hetherington * It' s got everything going on in a historical fiction crime drama * Clare Whitfield * I absolutely loved this novel and its tale of dark secrets and links between the past and the present. It was impossible to put down * Helen Scarlett * A haunting and emotional read, one that had me thinking over the characters for days afterwards * Lisa Hall * Motherhood, murder and mystery spanning three timelines. I could not put it down! * Louise Beech * The House at Helygen is a chilling, unforgettable, historical drama with as many twists and turns as the leading estate has corridors. A beautiful and brutal illustration of family decay that had me second guessing all of my suspicions until the very end * Karin Nordin *
