Said the Spider to the Fly (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781038346018)

Three women. Three generations. One haunting legacy.

When schoolteacher Rachael discovers her late grandmother's journals, she uncovers more than dusty memories. Within the yellowed pages lies a chilling family history-one of love, betrayal, and long-buried secrets. As Rachael struggles to navigate an increasingly dangerous marriage in 2022, she is pulled back to the 1980s, into the world of Dorothy, a woman whose return to a secluded island cottage awakens painful memories of her brother Jimmy's mysterious death.

Haunted by the past and watched over by a strange raven, Dorothy begins to piece together the truth behind Jimmy's drowning and the darkness that once shadowed her childhood. But it's not just ghosts that linger on Turtle Island. There's also a history of unspoken trauma, passed down through bloodlines, and the quiet strength of the women who've endured it. As Rachael reads, the parallels between her grandmother's life and her own become impossible to ignore. She must confront the truth to break from a cycle of violence-before it consumes her too.

A gripping blend of contemporary gothic mystery and emotional suspense, Said the Spider to the Fly is a powerful story of survival, legacy, and the enduring strength of women.

The question is-can the past help Rachael break free?
