The Third Wife of Faraday House

A Novel

By: B.R. Myers

Narrated by: Imogen Church

“A deliciously chilling gothic mystery with a smart and resourceful heroine . . . What more could fans of Jane Eyre and Rebecca want?” — Carol Goodman, two-time Mary Higgins Clark Award winner

Two brides band together to unravel the secrets at the heart of a crumbling island manor in this delicious love letter to gothic fiction from the award-winning author of A Dreadful Splendor

'Til death do us part...

November 1816: Restless but naive Emeline Fitzpatrick is desperate to escape her stifling life in foggy Halifax. Her guardian is lining up repugnant suitors, but Emeline has her eyes set on a lieutenant in the British Navy. She just needs to persuade him to propose, or her one chance at happiness will be gone forever.

But when Emeline’s hopes end in scandal, she finds herself with only one suitor left: the wealthy and enigmatic Captain Graves. Having already lost two wives to tragic circumstances, the widower is seeking a new companion in his cloistered seaside manor, Faraday House. Or at least that is what Emeline has been told, because when she arrives, she is horrified to discover that the second Mrs. Graves, Georgina, is still alive—though fading fast.

Emeline is only certain of two things: something ghastly is afoot at Faraday House, and no one is going to save her. She will have to rely on her own courage, her burgeoning bond with Georgina, and the aid of a handsome reverend with a mysterious past to shed light on a ghostly truth.

voice recording well done

I enjoyed the well written storyline. The performance was voiced with enthusiasm where it was needed, and dispare at the right times.

Unpredictable, outstanding gothic tale

Absolutely loved this one. Highly recommend! Very good story full of twists and turns and points where you really don’t know where the story will go! The narration is excellent. Loved the character development, especially the blossoming of the female friendships as well as the main female protagonist realizing her own worth. Loved it and would read again!

Not as good as Dreadful Splendor

I was really surprised that the same author wrote both a fantastic, twisty, I never knew what would happen mystery like ‘Dreadful Splendor’ and this book in which I guessed pretty much everything that would happen.
‘The Third Wife of Faraday’ is not bad… The imagery and characters are good. But it’s really predictable.

I'm not sure what was worse, the storyline or the narrator.

Absolute waste of time and money. the entire storyline was ridiculous. Couldn't even listen to the entire book.

could not finish

I tried really hard to finish this book. But I rolled my eyes too many times, I just couldn't continue. The main character is foolish and naive, and if I hear the name Fredrick one more time I'm gonna go crazy.
