Marbrisa is a stately and glamourous estate that the wealthy industrialist Robert Barnes has designed and has let build. His wife is Anna Barnes, and together, they are the new socialite couple of Miami after the Great War. On the outside they appear to have the perfect glamour life, but slowly on, mysterious things happen including a woman that mysteriously drowns, that break their perfect marriage..
Many years later, Carmen Acosta moves to Marbrisa, the house of her estranged and older Caroline and her husband Asher. Also here, mysterious things (and spooky sounds) happen and Carmen truly doesn't know what to think of it all, and doesn't feel really welcome at Marbrisa. And then her sister is found dead, the third woman who mysteriously died at Marbrisa, and she goes to the bottom to find out what is going on in this mysterious house, and soon finds her own life in danger...
The House on Biscayne Bay is a book that gives you cringy goosebumps! This is truly one of the best mystery books I have read in while. The story is truly spooky, and you truly have to read to the final parts to figure out what kind of scary secrets are going on at the stately Marbrisa house. The storyline is truly scary at some points, the creepy sounds that come from other floors and in between walls truly added to this! The characters are all great, especially Anna and Carmen, the two main characters of the story. Both live in different time periods at Marbrisa. The only point of critique I have about this is that it isn't exactly clear in which years the lifes of the two main characters are set in. But further on, this is a very well written mystery with one of the best storylines and cast of characters, and I recommend it if you are in for a read in which you don't know what happens next, let it surprise you!!
