Outline

Maggie Holt now an Interior Designer, barely remembers her stay at the infamous Haunted House that they lived for a brief 35 days some 20 years ago, but thanks to her dad, a writer, for encapsulating the events in a book, the entire world knows about that fateful night when they fled the house in ‘Amityville’ style and never came back.

All of that is in the past, and time being an amazing healer, Maggie moved on from the past save the occasional fans asking about her time at the Haunted house…

Until fate brings her back to the very house. Maggie’s dad dies with his death wish being for her to ‘never to return to Baneberry’ and an apology. This sends Maggie on a backward spiral and she ends up at Baneberry once again to renovate the old house and to get rid of it once and for all.

The rustic backdrop of the Baneberry and the villages around brought with them a fresh set of rumors and theories about the fate of the historic owners of Baneberry and the fact that the last owner killed his daughter and then shot himself.

Maggie ignored all of those and put her heart and soul into renovating the house and sought the help of the Handsome Handyman (that rhymed..!) who lived around the house.

Strange things started to happen as soon as she moves in, items go missing, dark silhouettes appearing in the distance, bells go off on their own, and a bunch of other occurrences that seem to have happened before, that have been described in her Dad’s novel.

Slowly, new information comes to light, and the past of the Handyman, the secrets of her Dad, the evil that’s haunting Baneberry Hall, all of it comes together in the climax, to an unbelievable and jaw-dropping twist that would knock you right off your chair.

Who is this book for?
