Seeking refuge from a devastating past, a woman discovers that some houses hold more than memories—they hold secrets worth killing for. From New York Times bestselling author Tess Gerritsen comes a masterfully crafted tale where Gothic romance collides with contemporary psychological suspense.

When Ava Collette arrives at the remote coastal mansion known as Brodie’s Watch, she’s searching for peace in the salty Maine air. What she finds instead is the impossibly real presence of Captain Jeremiah Brodie, a sea captain who’s haunted these rooms for over a century. Their encounters blur the line between the supernatural and the sensual, drawing Ava into a dangerous obsession.

But the village harbors a chilling truth: every woman who has lived in Brodie’s Watch has died there. As Ava uncovers the house’s terrible history, she must confront an urgent question—is she falling for a ghostly lover, or is something far more sinister stalking the halls?

Praised by bestselling authors including Lisa Gardner, Jayne Ann Krentz, and Iris Johansen, The Shape of Night delivers Gerritsen’s signature atmospheric tension with a razor-sharp modern edge. Perfect for fans of psychological thrillers with a supernatural twist, this novel weaves together dangerous passion, small-town secrets, and the kind of spine-tingling suspense that will keep you reading long past midnight.

If you loved the moody coastal settings of Daphne du Maurier or crave stories where desire and danger intertwine, this haunting tale belongs on your shelf.
