The Retreat by Mark Edwards
Lucas has gone to retreat for writers in his hometown in Wales. He has been struggling to write his new book, and he hoped that reconnecting with his past would help him come up with an idea. He is floored when Julia tells him about how her husband died and her daughter disappeared. He decides that he needs to help her find out.
So he hires a private investigator to look into Lily's disappearance. She finds a couple of leads before she too disappears. Soon Lucas is looking into it on his own when he finds out the story of the Widow. He wonders what secrets this place holds. Meanwhile, at the retreat strange things are happening.
Lucas hears a little girl singing a song in Welsh, but think he is crazy another guest hears it as well. Soon they are all wondering if there is a ghost or something darker in this sleepy Welsh town. Can Lucas uncover the truth before it is too late?
I am not totally sure how realistic this was, but it was engaging and I was trying to figure out if it would be a simple human thing or something with an edge of paranormal. I couldn't stop reading it. I really like Lucas and Julia. Most of the other characters were not very likable, but all added to the story in some way.
Not sure I love the ending but way to keep it shocking. I can't wait to read more by this author.
