The Charterhouse of Evil by Janice Tremayne

A paranormal tale of good versus evil, The Charterhouse of Evil by Janice Tremayne is a fun but chilling work of supernatural horror with a stellar protagonist at the helm. Spirit hunter Clarisse Garcia is investigating mysterious deaths at a Benedictine Monastery, aided by her husband’s spirit-tracking technology and challenged by powerful demons and the monks’ code of silence. While the plot unfolds somewhat slowly due to retelling elements from previous installments, which distracts from Clarisse connecting the accumulating clues, the mystery itself is engrossing and evocatively told, with the book ultimately working as a standalone novel. Fans of paranormal fiction will be easily drawn into this multilayered horror story about faith, innocence, and sin, with genuine scares throughout.
