Mrs. Rochester's Ghost: A Thriller

Written by Lindsay Marcott

Narrated by Carly Robins and Eva Kaminsky

In a modern and twisty retelling of Jane Eyre, a young woman must question everything she thinks she knows about love, loyalty, and murder.

Jane has lost everything: job, mother, relationship, even her home. A friend calls to offer an unusual deal—a cottage above the crashing surf of Big Sur on the estate of his employer, Evan Rochester. In return, Jane will tutor his teenage daughter. She accepts.

But nothing is quite as it seems at the Rochester estate. Though he’s been accused of murdering his glamorous and troubled wife, Evan Rochester insists she drowned herself. Jane is skeptical, but she still finds herself falling for the brilliant and secretive entrepreneur and growing close to his daughter.

And yet her deepening feelings for Evan can’t disguise dark suspicions aroused when a ghostly presence repeatedly appears in the night’s mist and fog. Jane embarks on an intense search for answers and uncovers evidence that soon puts Evan’s innocence into question. She’s determined to discover what really happened that fateful night, but what will the truth cost her?

Reviews for Mrs. Rochester's Ghost

[bookscookslooks · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

You do not have to have read Jane Eyre to appreciate Mrs. Rochester’s Ghost. That being written if you have read the classic novel it will enhance your appreciation of this clever mash up of the original. The story is brought into the present and to the state of California.Jane goes to work as a nanny for her friend’s employer, Evan. It seems to be the perfect job; a gorgeous location, one child to care for and a schedule of her own making but all is not as it seems. Evan is accused of murdering his wife but he insists he did not kill her, nor does he know where she is. She went swimming in the ocean one night and never came back.Suspicion falls on Evan but with no body found he lives in a kind of limbo. Jane finds her life there to be challenging because she doesn’t know what to believe – she finds herself falling for Evan but what if?All of this made for a slightly spooky but very good read for anyone who enjoys a bit of romance with their spooky. It definitely made for great reading while in the car as the hubby drove from here to there.
