The Strangers Room

by Julie A Murphree
No reviews yet. Be the first.

She’s running from a murder she didn’t commit. But the ghost who finds her may be the only one who can save her.

Stranded in a torrential rainstorm on a dark Louisiana back road, A mysterious woman holding an antique lantern offers Laine Chambers refuge in an old plantation in something called the Strangers Room.

But when morning arrives, she finds the plantation abandoned, the room in tatters, and the woman is nowhere to be found.

Framed for her fiancé’s murder and hunted by a powerful woman who wants vengeance, Laine finds herself stranded in a sleepy southern town with nowhere left to run. But the mysterious woman returns—with a plea of her own: help uncover the truth behind a child stolen over a century ago. In return, she will help Laine hide while she works to find a way to save her own life.

In this richly atmospheric tale of mystery, justice, and redemption, The Strangers Room blurs the line between past and present—and reveals that the dead sometimes reach out to heal the living.
