Extended description

A short story of love and suspense with a dash of the supernatural.

The reviewers said:

"This is a quick, sweet story. It's about a young couple who buys their first house, where the wife is visited by an old woman who used to own it. After that the wife starts dreaming about the family who lived there before. It's a ghost story but not in the horror genre-it's not scary. It is self-contained, unlike a lot of the freebie short stories out there that are teasers to get you to buy the novels. It's a 10 minute read that is well worth the time."

"
This is a very good mystery with a not-so-scary ghost and with living relatives of the ghost who are more worrisome than the ghost could ever be. I highly recommend this story to anyone who likes short stories. Its charm and setting make me want to read it again."

A sweet little ghost story. The only problem was that I wanted more! I wasn't ready for it to end. Definitely going to have to have more Dorte!

Lovely little story - and I really like the title! Great mix of young love, ghosts that materialize and disappear into thin air, and of course - Murder. Ending on a note of hope is a nice way to wrap it up :-)

A charming short story of love, ghosts, and murder. Heather Farm is a quick, fun read with a twist or two at the end.

This delightful story has the perfect combination of mystery and suspense with a touch of the supernatural added for good measure. The setting is ideal for the story which draws the reader in and holds them throughout. Definitely one of Dorte's best!

I missed this when it was first serialized on Dorte's blog, so am glad to have had a second chance now. A nice little ghost story: a young newlywed couple in their very first country house--now what could possibly go wrong? As Margot has stated, the setting is definitely an added enhancement of the tale.

Heather Farm is a very effective combination of suspense and mystery with a solid background story of love. The pace is just right and the threads of the story come together very effectively. There's a terrific rural-home setting, too. I recommend it!
