Open House
Book Feature - Open House by Katie Sise
HBL Note: I am SO happy I’m not in the market for a new house, because after reading this I’ll probably never want to attend an open house again. I remember reading a news article about a real estate agent being attacked by someone while she was showing them a house. It was my first time thinking, whoa, people should be careful who they’re alone with. In Open House, a woman is attacked during an open house which is found to be connected to a missing person from the previous decade. Scroll down to read more.
From the publisher:
A decade ago in upstate New York, art student Emma McCullough walked into the woods and was never seen again. It’s a mystery that still haunts her bucolic university town and her broken family, especially her sister, Haley, whose need for closure has become an obsession. But now, finally, the first piece of evidence in the vanishing has been found: Emma’s bracelet, lodged in a frozen piece of earth at the bottom of a gorge. For Emma’s three best college friends, for a beloved former teacher, and for Haley, the chilling trinket is more than a clue in a resurrected cold case. It’s a trigger.
Then a woman is attacked during an open house, and the connections between the two crimes, ten winters apart, begin to surface. So do the secrets that run as deep and dark as the currents in this quiet river town.
