Description

Please note an updated ebook was added as of 13th August.

A haunting, slow-burn contemporary gothic mystery about inheritance, buried secrets and an estate that refuses to stay silent.

Seventeen years ago, Kyra Masters fled the Hollow Garden and never looked back.


Haunted by fragmented memories of her friend Eleanor's death and the events that followed, she has spent years trying to build a life far from the estate that shattered her family and left her questioning her own mind.


Following her aunt's death, Kyra unexpectedly inherits the Hollow Garden. A sprawling Victorian graveyard of crumbling mausoleums, ruined monuments, and paths tangled with the rare Night Ivy that has grown there for generations.


The place she returns to is not the one she remembers. Time has transformed it into something stranger, its shadows heavy with secrets long hidden behind graves and mausoleum. Family resentments linger, and an old flame is unwilling to let the past remain buried.


As old memories begin to surface, Kyra is forced to confront the tragedy she has spent years trying to forget. What really happened on the night Eleanor died? And why have those around her worked so hard to bury the truth?


The estate was never meant to be hers.


And the Hollow Garden has a will of its own.


Nostalgia is for those who sleep well.

I went into this almost completely blind; as I saw a friend talking about it. The first couple of chapters felt... out of cadence; almost like someone clapping off-beat but either I got used to it or the author changed their writing a little because by chapter 3 or 4 I was completely sucked in and not noticing it any longer.
This was a very interesting book with multiple mysteries happening at the same time; a questions to be answered and possible murders to be solved. There was drama, some romance, and just a touch of eco-horror; which has become my favorite genre? trope? whatever. I don't know if there are going to be more books to make this a series but this author is definitely on my "to watch for" list.
