Joseph's House

The Calendar House stands majestic in rural Shropshire - fifty-two rooms for fifty-two weeks of the year. When respected local doctor Joseph Anderson dies in mysterious circumstances, his son Ed returns with his wife Becky to claim his inheritance. But their homecoming is overshadowed by Joe's peculiar will and the unexplained presence of his live-in carer, Samson.

As Becky peels back layers of family history, she uncovers disturbing connections between Joe's death, his patient's suicide, and a network of local crime. Within these Victorian walls, time has a way of unravelling truth. Caught between Ed's loyalty to his father's reputation and her growing suspicions, Becky realizes the house is keeping darker secrets than she imagined.

With Joe's widow Sarah lying comatose after a hit-and-run accident, and Samson's grip on the house tightening, Becky must decide what matters more – preserving the Anderson legacy or exposing the deadly truth about the family she married into.

In this masterfully crafted psychological thriller, Louise Worthington explores the dangerous spaces between pride and truth, inheritance and imprisonment. Some legacies are better refused.
