2018: A modern addictive take on the classic novel Rebecca
The Winters
What you need to know before your trail
After a whirlwind romance, a young woman returns to the opulent, secluded mansion of her new fiancé Max Winter – a wealthy senator and recent widower – and a life of luxury she’s never known. But all is not as it appears at the Asherley estate. The house is steeped in the memory of Max’s beautiful first wife Rebekah, who haunts the young woman’s imagination and feeds her uncertainties, while his very alive teenage daughter Dani makes her life a living hell.
As the soon-to-be second Mrs. Winter grows more in love with Max, and more afraid of Dani, she is drawn deeper into the family’s dark secrets – the kind of secrets that could kill her, too.

Travel Guide
The Hamptons
The Hamptons are part of the East End of Long Island and are the place for wealthy New Yorkers to kick back and relax. The houses around these parts are very nice and can cost millions of dollars. The Hamptons is made up of a group of villages and hamlets and together form a popular seaside resort. They’re also one of the historical summer colonies of the northeastern USA – so history….and secrets from the past.
The chilling story of the grand house, the omnipresent housemaid, the widowed man and the young girl who becomes his wife, living in her shadow. The location this time is The Hamptons with the grand house. But the chill factor starts on page one with a nod to that famous opening line:
“Last night Rebekah tried to murder me again. It had been awhile since I’d had that dream, not since we left Asherley…”
The house is posh, as are many in the Hamptons. Asherley however has that special something
“As I passed by the side of the house, Asherley maintained it gravitational pull on my body, the turret like a heavy eye that followed me as I walked.
“As always , the dream begins with Asherley in the distance, shining from afar in a bright clearing. There is no greenhouse, nor boathouse, just a stand of red canoes stabbed into the pebbly beach. In fact, the Asherley of my dream looks more like it might have back in its whaling days, when from the highest turret you could still spot tall ships dotting Gardiners Bay.”
