Publisher's Synopsis
A very modern ghost story about love, loss and a dying woman's last words to the husband she must leave behind.Desperate to find a room she can rent, Hazel answers an advert placed by reclusive widower Michael Emery. When she visits Michael's home, Hazel is given an offer that seems too good to be true. She can live there rent-free, with no bills to pay, provided she agrees to spend one night with him in his bed each week. Although she's shocked and turns the offer down, a few years later she sees the advert again. And this time, a disillusioned and broken Hazel makes a different decision.Before long, however, Hazel discovers that Michael's dead wife might not be gone after all. Something else seems to be living in the house, something that is by turns both angry and devoted. Does the ghost of Jessica Emery really haunt her husband and, if so, what did she really mean when she whispered her dying words to him all those years ago?
