The Fate of Mercy Alban

De: Wendy Webb

Narrado por: Kirsten Potter

From award-winning novelist Wendy Webb comes a spine-tingling, modern-day haunted house story set on Lake Superior.

Grace Alban has spent 20 years away from her childhood home, the stately Alban House on the shores of Lake Superior - for reasons she would rather forget. But when her mother’s unexpected death brings Grace and her teenage daughter home, she finds more than just her own personal demons haunting the halls and passageways of Alban House. Long-buried family secrets, a packet of old love letters, and a lost manuscript plunge Grace into a decades-old mystery about a scandalous party at Alban House during which a world-famous author took his own life and Grace’s aunt disappeared without a trace. That night has been shrouded in secrecy by the powerful Alban family for all of these years, and Grace realizes her family secrets tangle and twist as darkly as the hidden passages of Alban House. Her mother was intending to tell the truth about that night to a reporter on the very day she died. Could it have been murder, or was she a victim of the supposed Alban curse? With the help of the disarmingly kind - and attractive - Reverend Matthew Parker, Grace must uncover the truth about her home and its curse before she and her daughter become the next victims.

Wendy Webb has woven a suspenseful mystery that skillfully skirts the boundary between what is paranormal and what is psychological.

Wendy Webb is editor-in-chief of Duluth-Superior, an upscale lifestyle magazine. A journalist with two decades of experience, she lives in Minnesota.

Cozy Gothic Horror

A cozy gothic horror tale about a rich family, dark secrets, and a sprinkling of the supernatural. Not my usual genre, and it did kind of drag for me at times with how often Grace’s answers to what was going on got put off with yet another crisis, but it was a decent book that’s good for a pick me up between longer listens.

Loved it

I really enjoyed listening to this book
I will be sure to keep up with Wendy's books I love her style

My favorite so far!!

This is the third book I’ve read by Ms. Webb. While I enjoyed them all this is hands down my favorite!! Definitely sad to have my time with these characters come to an end!

LOVE IT!

the entire book was on edge ! Loved it !!!!! such a great build up,,, until the epilogue,,,,, disappointment. but the rest of it was very good for sure! I have never read this author before, will look for more !

Captivating Story

The story was quite involved, with many characters across different time periods. It definitely kept my interest. The supernatural element required me to set aside some personal beliefs to buy into parts of the story. I was pleased with the way things ended except for the very last bit. I can understand the author’s wish to leave herself a path for continuing the story, but the teaser left me more sad than intrigued. Also, personal pet peeve, but, how many times can the characters speak “louder than intended”? Geesh!

Fun story!

Really liked the whole story. I want a house like that, backstory and all 😁

AMAZING!! ❤
