When Jesse Graham unlocks the door to the deserted house she inherited from her Aunt Helen, she doesn’t realize she’s unlocking secrets that had lain dormant for years. Reeling from a broken engagement to acclaimed musician Robert Cronmiller, Jesse wants to leave the city where her name is linked to his in all the society pages. Her best friend Maggie, aka Sister Angelina, convinces her to take a job at a private girls school in the pastoral Finger Lakes region of upstate New York. Anticipating a quiet, revitalizing life in her aunt’s deserted house, Jesse is instead thrown into a maze of danger. Questions about her aunt’s death lead Jesse to investigate events surrounding it and the people involved, but she uncovers a web of deceit that reaches far beyond the occurrences of over two decades earlier. Still dejected from her broken engagement, Jesse finds it difficult to trust anyone, even her self-absorbed mother. Joe Riley is irresistible, but secrets obstruct involvement with him until Jesse can solve the secrets of the Cavanaugh House. Someone doesn’t want those secrets unearthed and will stop at nothing, even murder, to keep them hidden.

The Cavanaugh House is a love story mixed with a little bit of mystery and some twists and turns in the middle. The main character, Jesse just came into town after a break up to a house that she inherited from her Aunt Helen. She ends up getting thrown into a mix of danger when she unearths some clues regarding her Aunts death.

Amy did a wonderful job narrating Meyette’s story. She has such a smooth tender voice and was able to bring the characters to life.

The Cavanaugh House was well written and was always keeping me guessing on who the murderer was and man was I wrong at the end. It was a surprise!

I recommend this book to anyone who wants a quick easy listen and someone who loves mystery and a loves story.
