This book is a wonderful hybrid of mystery, horror and historical fiction. 1917, a haunted manor on the Devon coast during a storm, its the perfect setting for a mysterious murderer to start picking people off. Like a modern day murder mystery party but as a book! And with ghosts. It's witty without being a comedy and spooky without being a full on horror. Gripping and intense, it really pulls you into the claustrophobic atmosphere. Beautifully written. A thrilling mystery with a hint of spy novel and a splash of classic ghost story. It combines the horrors of murder with the horrors of the undead and will have you twitching at every little sound I'm the darkness. Any fans of mystery or ghostly tales, you should definitely read this book!
