Silence for the Dead

4.5 Spooky Stars.

It's 1919, and Kitty Weekes is out of a job and desperate for money and a place to hide. She poses as a nurse at Portis House, a remote manor converted into a convalescent home for soldiers suffering shell shock after the Great War.

But there is more to fear than her past and the soldiers. Noises occur at night, the house crumbles, and the men dream the same dream. How can Kitty figure out what's going on without losing her job or life?

This was a slow-burn, spooky story, full of atmosphere. It is quintessential Simone St. James. If you love gothic historical novels, pick this one up.
