About This Book
At Wakefield Hall, the dead don't wait for peace. They wait for the fifth day.
When Isola Wakefield dies, her final will traps the people who wronged her inside her cliffside mansion for a five-day wake—no exits, no excuses, and no inheritance if they disobey.
Among the vigil keepers: Gin Sutter, the mistress; Juno Kwan, the caretaker; Morwen Greaves, the housekeeper; Knox Bramwell, the lawyer who made it all legal; Dr. Alistair Ashcroft, the complicit doctor; Evan Carrick, the charming husband; and Tobias Mire—the man who left a boy dying in the road.
Outside, a storm batters the cliffs. Inside, frost scrawls words on glass, lights fail, doors lock, and the house begins to take sides. A salt circle buys a day of safety… until it doesn't. As the vigil ticks toward dawn of the fifth day, Isola's rage turns personal, dragging the truth about Jonas—and twenty-three years of lies—into the open.
No one leaves the wake. Not until the debt is paid.
Perfect for fans of Simone St. James, Jennifer McMahon, Darcy Coates, Riley Sager, Rachel Harrison, and Catriona Ward.
