The Ghosts of Thorwald Place by Helen Power
dark
mysterious
tense
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
4.5
This was sooo good 😍
Rachel is an introvert, isolated in her apartment and fearful of her past. She works from home and volunteers on a women's help hotline. One night she gets a call, and they know her real name. Fleeing in terror, she doesn't make it out the building. And neither does her soul.
Her spirit is tied to the elevator in which she was murdered, unable to rest until her killer is caught. From her small sphere of influence, she explores the apartments next to the elevator, observing the secrets of their inhabitants and looking for answers.
Events unfold in a fairly quick succession as the colourful lives of the occupants are revealed.
A great story with an unexpected ending.
