Books like Terrible Tide by Charlotte MacLeod
Holly Howe is on the brink of success in New York’s modeling scene when a car accident permanently alters her appearance, forcing her to leave the city for a rough country house in back‑country Canada. The house—dusty, bleak, and devoid of modern amenities—belongs to her brother, who offers little hospitality. Soon she lands a job in the nearby town as a caretaker for Mrs. Partlett, a widowed invalid with an imposing mansion that apparently lacks indoor plumbing. Yet the mansion’s Claiborne House feels more ominous by night. While the other housekeeper believes the house is haunted by Mr. Partlett’s ghost, Holly suspects the real threat lies in the old widow who resides upstairs and the secrets concealed behind her restrained, silver eyes.
