Isobel McNair, a cop from the big city, moves to a sleepy coastal town (Ocean Point). The sky is always gray, there isn’t much to do, and she is wondering if she made a mistake moving here. She gets a call from a lady telling her that there is a lot of noise and screaming in the old mansion next to where she lives. Isobel goes to investigate and finds the house peculiar and strange. It is absurdly quiet in it at times, and some of it is well preserved for being abandoned for many years by the previous occupants. When Isobel asks around town about the house, no one wants to talk. The more she investigates the house, the stranger things seem…

This was a quick and easy-to-read short story. I liked the eerie and dreary setting of Ocean Point. I was curious about the history of the old mansion and to see how everything would turn out.

An entertaining read with an uplifting ending. ( )
