Perfect for you if...

  • You love paranormal mysteries that blend supernatural elements with genuine crime investigation rather than pure ghost stories.
  • You're drawn to protagonists who become obsessed with unsolved cases and aren't afraid to pursue dangerous truths.
  • You want something that keeps you reading past midnight with that perfect mix of dread and narrative momentum.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer paranormal romance or cosy mysteries where the stakes feel lighter and the tone is warmer.
  • You need your supernatural stories explained with science or logic rather than embracing genuine inexplicability.
  • You're looking for a standalone that wraps everything up neatly, rather than one designed to make you desperate for the next book.

About this book

Dark River Inn is the first in a series of stand-alone haunted mysteries inspired by true crimes. Dan, a detective on leave, rents a desolate cabin in the mountains to escape his past on the day of his ex-wife's wedding. While looking through a telescope, he witnesses a young woman being violently seized and dragged into the forest. Desperate to help, Dan searches for evidence of the abduction, but finds nothing. Law enforcement has no reports, and the forest yields no trace of the crime. His only lead comes from a tattered missing person's poster bearing the face of Ivy Trent—the woman he saw taken. Yet the poster reveals an impossible detail: Ivy disappeared a decade before Dan witnessed her abduction. Obsessed with uncovering the truth, Dan encounters flickering specters and long-buried secrets. The boundary between the living world and the next grows thin, and Dan begins to suspect that a dead girl may be guiding him toward answers.
