A creepy , atmospheric , gripping novel which I loved from the very first page .Beautifully written . I immediately felt the menacing air of the old Manse .
Aisla Calder has inherited half of the old building . Her father gets the other half . Unfortunately he has been missing for twenty seven years , under mysterious circumstances .
Aisla returns to the house which was her childhood home ,taking her half sister Carrie with her . She does not remember much , if anything about the brooding old house set among the peaks of the Scottish Highlands .As Aisla spends more time in the house she begins to feel she is being watched . Why will no animals set foot in the gardens ? What do they fear ? When odd things begin happening she knows that the house itself wants her to leave . Is she losing her mind or is it something more sinister ?
A fantastic ,unusual thriller with chilling undertones which kept me reading breathlessly to the end!
