This evening I read 'Saltwater Mansions: The Woman Who Disappeared and Other Untold Stories' by David Whitehouse. While the mystery of the woman who vanished initially intrigues you, it's the other stories of other people's lives that engross you to the end. πŸ“š #BookSky #SkyBook

Cover of the book Saltwater Mansions by David Whitehouse. The background shows the facade of a brownish tower block with reflective windows and drawn curtains, one window revealing a small figure standing inside. The title is printed in large blue capital letters, with the subtitle β€œThe woman who disappeared and other untold stories” in smaller white text. A quote at the top reads: β€œA master storyteller and one of our greatest non-fiction writers” β€”Terri White. The book is lying on floral-patterned bedding.

At just under 200 pages, Saltwater Mansions is the perfect short holiday read. It’s a story about memory, the stories we tell, and a woman’s disappearance. 10/10. #Books #BookSky #NonFiction

The story that became Saltwater Mansions was told to David while he was in the chair at his local hairdressers. Once again, us follicly challenged authors looking for book ideas are at a distinct and unfair disadvantage. #oppressed

The neighbour who vanished β€” a Margate mystery In Saltwater Mansions, David Whitehouse chronicles his obsession with the true story of a local woman who disappeared without a trace

My book just got a nice big review in The Times. Best review of book they’ve ever published? Impossible to say, it’s behind a paywall.
