Hello. Thanks very much for reading Saltwater Mansions. I'm really happy you enjoyed it. Feels a bit wrong recommending my own books, but the one I wrote before that might be up your street, and has a bit of politics in it too. It's called About A Son. Thank you again.

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. 📚 #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 “The woman who disappeared and other untold stories” in smaller white text. A quote at the top reads: “A master storyteller and one of our greatest non-fiction writers” —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
