Author: Elizabeth Meyette
Narrator: Amy McFadden
Length: 10 hours 35 minutes
Publisher: Elizabeth Meyette⎮2016
Genre: Mystery/Thriller
Release date: March 28, 2016


When Jesse Graham unlocks the door to the deserted house she inherited from her Aunt Helen, she doesn’t realize she’s unlocking secrets that had lain dormant for years. Reeling from a broken engagement to acclaimed musician Robert Cronmiller, Jesse wants to leave the city where her name is linked to his in all the society pages. Her best friend Maggie, aka Sister Angelina, convinces her to take a job at a private girls school in the pastoral Finger Lakes region of upstate New York. Anticipating a quiet, revitalizing life in her aunt’s deserted house, Jesse is instead thrown into a maze of danger. Questions about her aunt’s death lead Jesse to investigate events surrounding it and the people involved, but she uncovers a web of deceit that reaches far beyond the occurrences of over two decades earlier. Still dejected from her broken engagement, Jesse finds it difficult to trust anyone, even her self-absorbed mother. Joe Riley is irresistible, but secrets obstruct involvement with him until Jesse can solve the secrets of the Cavanaugh House. Someone doesn’t want those secrets unearthed and will stop at nothing, even murder, to keep them hidden.

Lynn's 5 Star Review


Where does The Cavanaugh House rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?The Cavanaugh House is one of the best audiobooks I have heard. The story itself is brilliantly written and with Amy McFadden's narration it really comes to life. I was able to connect to the story and characters through Amy.

Who was your favorite character and why?My favorite character is the MC, Jesse. After a horrible breakup, Jesse strikes out on her own to prove to herself she doesn't need a man or her mother and can make it on her own. Given that the story takes place in the 1960's this makes her feat even more difficult.

What about Amy McFadden’s performance did you like?Amy McFadden did a great job narrating The Cavanaugh House. I connected to Jesse. If it weren't for bad luck, Jesse would have had no luck at all. Moving to her Aunt Helen's old home opens up pandora's box. Secrets are uncovered and Jesse's life, as well as the town, are changed forever.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?I love that the author, Elizabeth Mayette, was able to weave woman's lib into this haunting, mysterious, and romantic tale. The book has a lot going on and grabbed my attention from the beginning. I look forward to experiencing other work from Elizabeth and Amy.
