A masterful, heart-palpitating novel of small-town horror and psychological dread from a Bram Stoker nominee.
Aaron Decker's life changes one December morning when his wife Allison is killed. Haunted by her absence--and her ghost--Aaron goes through her belongings, where he finds a receipt for a motel room in another part of the country. Piloted by grief and an increasing sense of curiosity, Aaron embarks on a journey to discover what Allison had been doing in the weeks prior to her death.
Yet Aaron is unprepared to discover the dark secrets Allison kept, the death and horror that make up the tapestry of her hidden life. And with each dark secret revealed, Aaron becomes more and more consumed by his obsession to learn the terrifying truth about the woman who had been his wife, even if it puts his own life at risk.

Mired in grief, a man uncovers some startling revelations about his recently deceased wife that make him wonder if he ever really knew her at all. Small time reporter Allison had been doing a very different kind of investigation far out of the scope of her job. As Aaron becomes obsessed with following in her footsteps he discovers more than he may have wanted to know about his wife. Come With Me is a very dark and twisty tale of suspense that builds slowly at first until suddenly I got that awful sensation I have on elevators when my stomach drops and I feel like the floor fell out from under me. This was a brilliant mystery with supernatural overtones. Ronald Malfi has become one of my must read authors. I love the way he brings his characters to life. They are solid and their emotions are believable. The good guys are never the fake ultra perfect type and and the bad guys may be as foul as they come but they still feel genuine.
5 out of 5 stars
