Buy The Professor of Eventide

Perfect for readers of The Secret History and The Historian, The Professor of Eventide is a slow-burning, atmospheric literary mystery that explores the thin line between intellectual obsession, the weight of eternity, and the madness of memory.

At Eventide College, the past is never buried—it is exhaled through the ivy and etched into the stone.

Professor Jonathan Ferrars lives in the shadows of academia, a man tethered to a history he cannot outrun—and a secret he has spent a lifetime concealing. When he arrives at Eventide College, the sanctity of the autumn term is shattered as three of his students are found murdered in a manner that feels less like a crime and more like a ritual.

As the police close in and the college’s halls begin to tighten around him, Jonathan realizes the deaths are part of a meticulously crafted design—one that places him at the center of its unfolding tragedy. To preserve his sanity—and his freedom—he must uncover the rot at the heart of Eventide College before the darkness he has spent a lifetime outlasting finally claims him.

A story of isolation, the seduction of narrative, and the predatory nature of history, The Professor of Eventide is a haunting meditation on what happens when the ghosts we carry are as alive, and as enduring, as we are.

“Her Dear & Loving Husband by Meredith Allard is an enthralling novel that threatens to mesmerise. The compelling narrative weaves together a setting that many know the name of, but not necessarily the specific events that made it so infamous. Allard has penned a captivating novel of the mystic nature in the town of Salem and how the love between two souls can prevail over the passing of time and anything that may impede them. I Highly Recommend. 5 stars.” —The Coffee Pot Book Club
