A Guest in the House by E.M. Carroll
4.0

I’m not entirely sure I ~got~ this book, but the art is incredible. A Guest in the House feels like Daphne du Maurier’s Rebecca, but it quickly spirals into something deeper and darker. Abby is newly married to a widowed dentist who moved to town with his daughter after his wife’s death. As she learns more about Sheila and her death, Abby feels uneasy. How did she die, really? Were all her paintings really burned in the fire, or are they saved, hidden and locked away? The ghost of Sheila is everywhere in the house, simultaneously fascinating and tormenting Abby as she pieces together the truth about her husband.
