Readers of Eve Chase and Kate Morton will devour this bewitchingly atmospheric, melancholy modern ghost story set in the lush hills of England's Lake District.

A Goodreads Choice Awards Nominee
Francine Thwaite has lived all her fifty-five years in her family's ancestral home, a rambling Elizabethan manor in England's Lake District. No other living soul resides there, but Francine isn't alone. There are ghosts in Thwaite Manor, harmless and familiar. Most beloved is Bree, the mischievous ghost girl who has been Francine's companion since childhood.

When Francine's estranged sister, Madeleine, returns to the manor after years away, she brings with her a story that threatens everything Francine has always believed. It is a tale of cruelty and desperation, of terror and unbearable heartache. And as Francine learns more about the darkness in her family's past—and the role she may have played in it—she realizes that confronting the truth may mean losing what she holds most dear.

As moving and poignant as it is chilling, Her Little Flowers is a story of grief and enduring love—and of the haunting regrets only forgiveness can dispel.

      DEBUT Morgan's debut novel is a treat for fans of the supernatural. Francine Thwaite is a self-described spinster with the ability to see ghosts. She's spent her life in comfortable solitude living in her family's ancestral manor, where she cohabitates with a host of harmless spirits. An unexpected visit from Francine's sister comes with the revelation that their late mother sought to bury a dark family secret. As the women dive into the mystery of their family's past, a malevolent spirit is awoken in the home. Worse still, the more Francine discovers about this mystery, the more certain it becomes that Francine herself had a hand in the family tragedy. Horticulture and floriography play key roles in the novel, and the author's research on the subjects creates a rich reading experience. Morgan's prose is atmospheric without being overly dense, and tropes of the classic gothic novel are juxtaposed with references to the 21st century to create a sense of anachronism. VERDICT Overall, the novel provides a compelling supernatural mystery that will hold a reader's attention right up to the last page. Recommend to fans of Kate Morton and Eve Chase.--Ashlynne Watson
