Thursday Thrillers Book Discussion

"All I Want" by Darcey Bell

"All I Want" by Darcey Bell. Presented by Manville branch library assistant Eric Alicea.

When Emma's husband, Ben, falls in love with a large Victorian mansion for sale in upstate New York, he swears to her the fixer-upper will be worth the risk. With a baby on the way, Emma would like to live in a charming, safe community, after all--and in a space larger than a one-bedroom New York City apartment. On impulse, she agrees to Ben's plan and they put in an offer on the house. Sure, the mansion has a somewhat creepy backstory and is a bit dilapidated, but Emma and Ben are in this together, aren't they? When strange things start happening, Emma begins to experience a little buyer's remorse. What's the real history of this house? Is its dark history repeating itself? Why does her husband suddenly seem so distant? Is she in danger? Is her baby?
