Good evening everyone I hope you’ve had a good Sunday. I was very excited to receive a copy of The House Of Fever by Polly Crosby last week.
I’m particularly interested by this one as it’s based on real historical events and because it features tuberculosis which is a disease I have always been intrigued by.
Huge thanks to Indie Thinking for sending me a copy of this book. I’ve been such a huge fan of her previous books so I can’t wait to read this one.
Out 15th August 2024.

Book Synopsis:
Can she unlock the secrets of The House of Fever?
1935, Hedoné House, a luxurious sanatorium for the creative elite dedicated to the groundbreaking treatment of tuberculosis. As the doctor’s new wife, Agnes Templeton has pledged her life to a house of fever.
But Hedoné is no ordinary hospital. High society rubs shoulders with artists, poets and musicians. No expense is spared on the comfort of the guests, and champagne flows freely. It’s a world away from everything Agnes knows.
Her husband’s methods are unusual. There are whisperings about past patients and even a cure. Hedoné’s secrets draw Agnes in, revealing truths she could never anticipate, and soon she is caught between a past she is desperate to escape and a future she may forever regret.
