    About this audiobook

    For years, the Stranger House has stood in the village of Illthwaite, offering refuge to travellers. People like Sam, a brilliant young mathematician, who believes that anything that can't be explained by maths isn't worth explaining. And Miguel, a historian running from a priests' seminary, who sees ghosts. Sam is an experienced young woman, Miguel a 26-year-old virgin. But both want to dig up bits of the past that some people would rather keep buried. As they uncover intertwining tales of murder, betrayal and love, they must put aside their differences to find the dark mysteries at the heart of this ancient place...

      Enjoyable read
    • 4/5
      1/3 of this book belongs in r/menwritingwomen, and 1/3 needs to be sent to Horny Jail. That being said, the last 1/3 was a pretty good story that competently wove together the quests of the main characters, and painted an interesting picture of a modern small town in England, and it's historical counter parts 500 and 50 years previously. Enjoyable read, despite my eyeball muscle fatigue from rolling them at the superfluous lustful references.
