When Louise finds out her parents have died, she dreads going home. She doesn’t want to leave her daughter with her ex and fly to Charleston. She doesn’t want to deal with her family home, stuffed to the rafters with the remnants of her father’s academic career and her mother’s lifelong obsession with puppets and dolls. She doesn’t want to learn how to live without the two people who knew and loved her best in the world.
Mostly, she doesn’t want to deal with her brother, Mark, who never left their hometown, gets fired from one job after another, and resents her success. But she’ll need his help to get the house ready for sale because it’ll take more than some new paint on the walls and clearing out a lifetime of memories to get this place on the market.
Some houses don’t want to be sold, and their home has other plans for both of them…
How to Sell a Haunted House by Grady Hendrix is expected out January 17th, 2023 from Berkley.
Why am I waiting on this book? I like haunted house stories. I like the premise of this one. It sounds like the house will be like a character in the book. And the situation is one that a lot of people can identify with - clearing out a parent's home. The additional tension between her and her brother will no doubt add to the suspense. I wonder if their relationship will change as they deal with the house.
