Closed Shutters

Closed Shutters is a haunting psychological thriller that explores the weight of silence and the devastating power of long-buried secrets. Seeking peace to write, Paul Morgan rents a house in a quiet coastal town, facing the imposing Caldwell residence — a Victorian mansion sealed behind its shutters for over two decades. Locals whisper about the storm of 1999, when the Caldwell family was believed to have drowned at sea. Officially, they vanished without a trace. Unofficially, someone survived. Evan Caldwell, the teenage son thought lost forever, still lives in the shadows of that house. And when Paul uncovers the truth, he is drawn into a web of lies, betrayal, and a family history darker than anyone imagined. For Richard Caldwell, the patriarch presumed dead, is alive… and determined to finish what he began. Atmospheric, suspenseful, and filled with shocking twists, Closed Shutters is perfect for fans of psychological thrillers, family dramas, and mystery fiction. With every page, the tension builds until the final, breathtaking reveal. If you love the works of Gillian Flynn, Paula Hawkins, or Lisa Jewell, Closed Shutters will be your next unforgettable read.
