3 Watering Place L K Lien

Coffin House is a place of horrifying history and still-kept secrets. Current residents of this ancient apartment house on the little Yorkshire lane called Watering Place have established a well-balanced tension that insulates them from probing eyes. Clifford Hall is a skilled manipulator, the absolute best at finding secrets and using them to further his goals. Chip Bell's troubled past has pushed him into a quiet place where he is slow to communicate and ventures no further than his immediate neighborhood. Ellen Houghton cannot untangle herself from her family's sordid history. Everything she does proves to the local residents that the curse of Coffin House is true. The voices inside Martin Feeney's head simultaneously tell him to do unimaginable things while begging him to be the good man he wishes he was. And Will Connor's isolation keeps him from recognizing the truth of his fragile and unreliable new relationships. Now Kelly Lanik and her husband have moved into Apartment Number 3. She's someone who is uncomfortable and awkward. She sees all and forgets nothing. No amount of careful planning or foggy lies can shield the nervous neighbors from her relentless curiosity and hyperactive imagination. She is dangerous; she could cost one of them all they love and more.
