The Haunting of Maddy Clare

A thrilling debut in women's suspense--a ghost story set in 1920s England Sarah Piper's lonely, threadbare existence changes when her temporary work agency sends her to assist a ghost hunter. Alistair Gellis--rich, handsome, scarred by World War I, and obsessed with ghosts--has been summoned to investigate the spirit of nineteen-year-old maid Maddy Clare, who haunts the barn where she committed suicide. Since Maddy hated men in life, it is Sarah's task to confront her in death. Soon Sarah is caught up in a desperate struggle, for Maddy's ghost is real, she is angry, and she has powers that defy all reason. Can Sarah and Alistair's assistant, the rough and unsettling Matthew Ryder, discover who Maddy was, where she came from, and what is driving her desire for vengeance before she destroys them all?
