I absolutely LOVED The Book of Cold Cases by this author, so when I saw this novella available I couldn’t wait to read it! This story was interesting, but I feel like I’ve just read this same story too much lately…
Ginette Cox is a New York City actress who is ordered by her doctor to take an extended, and a much needed break. Ginette is lucky to find a house to rent very quick and cheap at 19 Howard Avenue. Well, there’s a reason Ginette was able to get such a good deal on this house…
As soon as Ginette settles into 19 Howard Avenue, she finds that she cannot leave the house. Some strange sensation is holding her back and keeping her inside. Since she cannot leave the house, Ginette decides to watch her neighbors through binoculars. She keeps track of what her neighbors are doing, and even what their names may be. She also sees a strange man who wears an outdated suit, walking through the yards at night.
Ginette also begins to lose sleep during her stay at this house. She hears strange noises throughout the house, especially from the basement. She also feels gusts of cold air passing through her body. Is Ginette imagining these things? Has Ginette gone mad?
For a short story, this was well developed. I was entertained, but I feel that this story has been done quite a lot the past few years. So unfortunately this wasn’t anything new for me. Regardless, it was still a quick read.

Yes, this is a plot that’s been done to death. Fair enough review. 🧡

Fair review, Rachel! 🧡I enjoyed the audiobook.
Excellent review, Rachel! 🧡 I'm glad to hear this was well developed even if it was predictable. I hope your next book ticks all your boxes.
I know that feeling…nothing more frustrating than an idea that feels done to death! I love St. James’ ghosts, but her books are sort of hit or miss for me so this one might be sliding down the list a bit. Terrific review, Rachel! ♥️

Terrific review Rachel! I enjoy this author, but think I’ll likely skip this one.💞

Though overdone sounds like a nice short read to start with St. James. Nice review Rachel!

Well I am entertained by your review, even though you weren't very pleased.
