The Secret Attic

A House With Good Bones meets The Perfect Marriage in USA Today bestseller Chelsea Conradt's latest psychological thriller. In this house, the past won't stay packed away. And neither will the truth.

"Haunting and atmospheric." - Nalini Singh, New York Times bestselling author, for The Farmhouse

The past isn't just haunting her—it’s hunting her.

Addison Lowe knew her mother-in-law despised her, but inheriting Barb's massive estate after her death feels less like closure and more like a trap. Barb's hoarded rooms aren't just filled with clutter—they're filled with secrets. And it's Addison's job to unearth them while Luke grieves the loss of the mother he could never let go of.

But Luke grows stranger with every box they open—restless, secretive, cruel in ways Addison has never seen. And the house itself seems to breathe with Barb's presence. Ivy claws through the windows. A murder of crows drops trinkets at her feet. Dolls stare from the shadows, labelled with names Addison doesn't recognise—until she does. One doll bears the name Cassidy Warren, a girl who vanished years ago. And the more Addison uncovers, the more Barb's legacy seems tied to the streak of "bad luck" that has haunted Rockside Bay for decades.

The deeper Addison digs, the clearer it becomes—some secrets were meant to stay buried. And the husband she thought she knew may be hiding the darkest one of all...
