The Widow of Rose House by Diana Biller - Bookin' It With Jen

Widowed and scandalized Mrs. Webster is haunted by her past, so it is only fitting that the house she bought to restore is too. When famous inventor Sam Moore approaches her with a request to investigate the ghosts in her house, she wants nothing to do with it, unwilling to believe that those who tormented you in life could do so in death as well. But after her construction crew encounters something unexplained and refuses to do anymore work unless something is done she reluctantly teams up with Professor Moore to either debunk the stories, or to find a way to help the spirit move on.

This book has a real tone of sadness overall but also glimmers of hope throughout in the form of Sam. I enjoyed the parallels between Alva and the ghost, and found the moody setting of early New York City perfectly suited to the story. I really enjoyed this book! It is a perfect fall read!

Thanks to Netgalley and the Publisher for providing me with a copy of this book to review. All opinions are my own.
