I received an ARC from NetGalley to read and review. The below is my honest, unbiased opinion. Thank you, Deryn Lake, the publisher, and NetGalley, for allowing me to review.

It was the flat Rebecca and Greg had dreamed of finding; a beautiful conversion in a big Victorian house. The huge mirrored wardrobe that the builders couldn’t shift only seemed to add to its charms… But soon their dream turns into a terrifying nightmare. As Rebecca delves into the dark circumstances surrounding the mysterious murder of George Carthew in the same house a hundred years before, she finds herself surrounded by echoes of the crime. Carthew was victim to slow arsenic poisoning, and now Greg is struck with a horrible wasting illness. Carthew’s beautiful widow, Charlotte, was suspected of the gruesome crime but never convicted, and now Rebecca wakes in terror to find reflection of strange women in the wardrobe doors… That old wardrobe, a relic of the Victorian days, seems to be the only remaining witness to the crime and Rebecca becomes convinced that all these years later, it could still hold the key to the murder.

THE WARDROBE is a novelette-length story, but in just under 60 pages, the writer managed to write a mysterious, yet thrilling read that centers around a wardrobe in a Victorian manor. (Honestly, what more could you ask for?) Well, the author's ability to include good character development and plot twists in such a short piece was a welcomed surprise. I definitely recommend this to anyone who enjoys novelette-length pieces.
