Gruesome deaths haunt the industrial city of Fall River, Massachusetts.

Dr. Seabury Bowen—physician to the infamous Lizzie Borden—swears he’s being stalked by spirits, though his beloved wife thinks it’s merely his imagination. But the retired doctor insists that neither greed nor anger provoked the recent sensational axe murders in Fall River. Rather, he believes the city is poisoned by bad blood and a thirst for revenge dating back to the Indian and Colonial wars.

Now, two years after the Borden murders, Dr. Bowen is determined to uncover the mysteries stirring up the city’s ancient, bloodthirsty specters. Can he discover who, or what, is shattering the peace before Fall River runs red? Or will he be the next victim?

Part mystery, part love story, The Haunting of Dr. Bowen reveals the eerie side of Fall River as witnessed by the first doctor on the scene of the legendary Borden murders.

A supernatural tie-in to the book, Lizzie Borden, Zombie Hunter, but without the zombies. Based on real-life events and historic documents, though some parts have been fictionalized to fit the story. * Contains some light horror details.

Haunting, the right dash of chills

August 6, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Equal parts mystery, alternate history, horror, and romance. Chris Verstraete weaves her elements perfectly into this tale that fits with the timeline of her Lizzie Borden Zombie Hunter world. I had the pleasure of being one of her advance readers. I re-read the book this past weekend...I enjoyed it that much to give it a second turn. I hope she crafts more books in this setting. She brings it all so much to life...and death. Great details and dialog.

Dr.Bowden was Lizzy Borden’s neighbor, doctor, first at the crime scene and he testified at her trial. These are facts. This is a work of fiction which picks up after all of this is over and Dr. Bowen is retired. Dr. Bowden tells this story. Often through conversations he recounts with his wife.
Dr Bowen is haunted. By what he doesn’t know. He is trying to figure things out. What’s real and isn’t real is questionable to him and the reader at times.
This is a brilliantly imaginative story. The author did an awesome job of bringing reality into this work of fiction. Statements taken directly from the court records are peppered throughout. The actual transcript from the trial is included at the end of this book.
The characters are well defined. This is an enjoyable and easy read. You can enjoy this even if you do not know the story of Lizzy Borden.

Uncaged Book Reviews

I have to preface this review by saying that to really understand and enjoy this short novel

January 1, 2018

Format: Kindle Edition

The Haunting of Dr. Bowen by C.A. Verstraete is a companion novel to Lizzie Borden, Zombie Hunter. I have to preface this review by saying that to really understand and enjoy this short novel, you must read Lizzie Borden first-- otherwise you are missing out on a significant building block for the story. Lizzie Borden, Zombie Hunter is an excellent novel by Verstraete, and I highly recommend it.
Overall, I found it to be an enjoyable story to go along with Lizzie Borden, and would recommend this book if you have read that one. Though it explores a slightly different facet of the paranormal genre, it fits nicely into the world that Verstraete had already built. Reviewed by Kaitlin

Great Lizzie Borden book!

March 11, 2018

Format: Kindle Edition

I’m glad to see another Lizzie Borden book by Verstraete! It’s a bit mystery, a bit supernatural. Dr. Seabury Bowen, the haunted man of this book, was a real person, and he was one of the first people in the house after the bodies of Lizzie Borden’s father and stepmother were discovered, hacked to death.

Everyone is fascinated with that case, even writing songs about it. The author adeptly fills in the blanks that history left gaping. There are plenty of twists, odd characters, action, and even a bizarre development at the end.

Hauntingly Spooktacular!

October 24, 2017

Format: Paperback

Dr. Seabury Bowen was a family physician, living across the street from the Lizzie Borden family. According to historical records, he was the first to examine Andrew Borden's body after his death and the first to arrive at the crime scene after Lizzie raised the alarm. Dr. Bowen's involvement in the murder investigation and his familiarity with the Bordens will forever link him to this fascinating and legendary American mystery.

Verstraete delivers a haunting bit of historical fiction that takes Dr. Bowen, a peripheral character in the Lizzie Borden affair, and puts him center stage in a separate (but somehow linked) murder mystery.

This was a fun read! The author's injection of actual trial testimony at the start of every chapter was effective in interweaving fact and fiction, giving us glimpses of the doctor's history that are helpful in understanding his mindset & motivation. Verstraete's love of her subject matter is evident and her book left me wanting (more than ever) to go ghost hunting in Fall River!

Another Awesome Mystery You Do Not Want to Miss!

November 6, 2017

Format: Kindle Edition

Once again Christine Verstraete has written a book that kept me turning the pages to find out what happens. I absolutely love how the author has incorporated the Lizzie Borden events from her previous book, (Lizzie Borden, Zombie Hunter, if you have not read this one], yet the focus on in this book is on Dr. Bowen. The delightful details describing each scene provides a vivid image making you feel as if you are a silent partner with Dr. Bowen trying to solve the mystery. The book is very well written and I recommend it for a good read for readers of mystery, Lizzie Borden fans, and just those who want to read a short book from an author they have not discovered yet. Well done Christine!

Loved Dr. Bowen

August 5, 2017

Format: Paperback

Loved this! It was great to read another one of C.A. Verstrate's books. Especially one that followed Lizzie Borden, Zombie Killer (which I enjoyed as much as her newest.) The author not only has a way with zombie's but other paranormal things as well. If you liked her first book you will certainly want to read Dr. Bowen.
