In the Night Room
Kit avatar reviewed on + 68 more book reviews


Willy Patrick, respected author of the award-winning novel: In the Night Room, thinks she is losing her mind. She is drawn helplessly into the parking lot of a warehouse, knowing somehow that her daughter, Holly, is being held in the building. But this is impossible-Willy's daughter is dead.

On that same day, author Timothy Underhill, who has been struggling with a new book about a troubled young woman, is confronted with the ghost of his nine-year old sister, April. Soon after, he begins to receive eerie, fragmented emails from people he knew in his youth-people now dead. Like his sister, they want urgently to tell him something. When Willy and Tim meet, the frightening parallels between Willy's tragic loss and the story in Tim's manuscript suggest that they must join forces to confront the evils surronding them.
