The war may be over, but the nightmare is just beginning…

Released from prison after years of solitary confinement for refusing to fight in the Great War, Robert Latimer arrives in an isolated village looking for his brother.

Thomas was wounded in France and sent to Ravensmere House for treatment. But the sprawling estate has a sinister reputation, housing the most disturbed soldiers returning from war. While searching, Robert sees a mysterious woman dressed in white wandering through the woods at twilight.

Denied access to his brother by the charismatic Dr Abbott, Robert becomes convinced that something is terribly wrong behind Ravensmere's walls. With the help of outspoken local woman Edith Chalk, he uncovers strange medicines, disturbing experiments and long-forgotten legends.

But as Robert digs deeper and risks his life to uncover the truth, he realises there are darker forces at play. And someone will do anything to keep Ravensmere's secrets hidden.

Because some evils refuse to stay buried…

The Woman in the Woods is a haunting and atmospheric gothic thriller filled with mystery, love and supernatural suspense, perfect for fans of Shutter Island and The Woman in Black.
