New York Times bestselling author Peter Swanson pens a
spectacularly spine-chilling novella in which an American art
student in London is invited to join a classmate for the holidays
at Starvewood Hall, her family's Cotswold manor house. But behind
the holly and pine boughs, secrets are about to unravel, revealing
this seemingly charming English village's grim history. Ashley
Smith, an American art student in London for her junior year, was
planning on spending Christmas alone, but a last-minute invitation
from fellow student Emma Chapman brings her to Starvewood Hall,
country residence of the Chapman family. The Cotswold manor house,
festooned in pine boughs and crammed with guests for Christmas
week, is a dream come true for Ashley. She is mesmerized by the
cozy, firelit house, the large family, and the charming village of
Clevemoor, but also by Adam Chapman, Emma's aloof and handsome
brother. But Adam is being investigated by the local police over
the recent brutal slaying of a girl from the village, and there is
a mysterious stranger who haunts the woodland path between
Starvewood Hall and the local pub. Ashley begins to wonder what
kind of story she is actually inhabiting. Is she in a grand
romance? A gothic tale? Or has she wandered into something far more
sinister and terrifying than she'd ever imagined? Over thirty years
later the events of that horrific week are revisited, along with a
diary from that time. What began in a small English village in 1989
reaches its ghostly conclusion in modern-day New York, many
Christmas seasons later.
