About this listen

Named an Anticipated Read of 2024 by Entertainment Weekly and a Best Historical Fiction novel of 2024 by BookBub.

As death stalks a gothic mansion in Miami, the lives of two women intertwine as the past and present collide in New York Times bestselling author Chanel Cleeton’s atmospheric new novel.

With the Great War finally behind them, many Americans flock to South Florida with their sights set on making a fortune. When wealthy industrialist Robert Barnes and his wife, Anna, build Marbrisa, a glamorous estate on Biscayne Bay, they become the toast of the newly burgeoning society. Anna and Robert appear to have it all, but in a town like Miami, appearances can be deceiving, and one scandal can change everything.

Years later following the tragic death of her parents in Havana, Carmen Acosta journeys to Marbrisa, the grand home of her estranged older sister, Carolina, and her husband, Asher Wyatt. On the surface, the gilded estate looks like paradise, but Carmen quickly learns that nothing at Marbrisa is as it seems. The house has a treacherous legacy, and Carmen’s own life is soon in jeopardy . . . unless she can unravel the secrets buried beneath the mansion’s facade and stop history from repeating itself.

Critic reviews

"Chanel Cleeton goes gothic with her latest, and it's a smashing success! The House on Biscayne Bay is a splashy, atmospheric thrill-ride!"—Kate Quinn, New York Times bestselling author of The Diamond Eye

No one is to be trusted in The House on Biscayne Bay, and Cleeton will leave even the most discerning readers in awe as she reveals twist after twist. Brilliantly done!”Sarah Penner, New York Times bestselling author of The Lost Apothecary

"The House on Biscayne Bay has it all–glitz, glamor, and a mesmerizing murder. This haunting tale is gorgeously written and will keep you riveted until the end. Such a fabulous read!"—Madeline Martin, New York Times bestselling author of The Librarian Spy

The book dragged. I loved the Cuba series, but this just didn’t live up to her other books.

Not her best

This was a paralinear tale of a storied mansion in Miami, but not my kind of book. However, it surprised me with its unspooling of two dark tales. I liked it!
Narration for both worlds was delivered skillfully, nicely transporting me back to life between the wars.

I’m from South Florida with Cuban roots and I just love hearing  story based on Florida that’s why I love hearing this author.

Loved it!

I usually love Ms. Cleeton’s novels that intertwine history and intrigue with Cuban flavor. This novel fell flat. There just wasn’t enough “there” there to make it interesting and believable. It was unique to tell the story through the house - but maybe give the house a voice as well. I didn’t feel very invested in these characters and didn’t really understand their behavior.

Rather boring

Love her inspiration and the gothic feel of the house. I didn’t see the ending coming!

A fun read

I love the way Chanel can weave such important historical events into all of her work, while still creating beautiful and unique love stories. I especially loved the thriller element that this novel had. Last, the way Chanel adds a nod to her prior novels is always such a treat! Love reading her stories!
