Description
“The Drowned Girl’s Palace” by Christine Mangan is a psychological thriller immersing you in a mysterious atmosphere of 20th-century Venice.
1966. Years have passed since the success of Frankie Crowe’s debut novel. Since then, her career has gone downhill: unfulfilled expectations, recognition that never came, and a public nervous breakdown that overtook Frankie after a particularly cruel review of her latest book. Seeking peace and the lost spark of inspiration, Frankie retreats to her friend’s empty palazzo in Venice.
Soon, Gilly appears—an unusually mature girl who claims to be acquainted with the writer and is determined to enter Frankie’s lonely life. But something about Gilly makes Frankie wary. What is true in the things Gilly tells, and what is false? What does she really want? What sounds are heard in the seemingly abandoned palazzo at night? Perhaps Frankie’s shaken psyche is playing her an evil trick… Or is there something—or someone else—in the building with her? A catastrophe strikes Venice and radically changes the fates of the main characters. Thanks to the mysterious, dark atmosphere and the torturous tension, “The Drowned Girl’s Palace” will shake you to the core and make you look over your shoulder once again.
