Wendy Webb’s standalone novels are gothic fiction with supernatural undertones, usually set in Minnesota or the upper Midwest. Old houses, family secrets, and eerie atmospheres are her stock in trade, and she uses the cold, isolated landscape of the Great Lakes region to great effect. Each book works on its own, so there is no required reading order.
The novels often feature women starting fresh in a new place only to find that the location has a dark history of its own. Webb writes with a steady pace that builds tension gradually rather than relying on sudden scares. Readers who enjoy atmospheric mysteries with a touch of the paranormal will find her catalog worth exploring.
