From the opening I was hooked, it's just my cup of tea to have a mysterious gothic house, in my favourite location of Scotland and strange events that 'haunt' the new owner.
This book centres around a woman who inherits 'The Manse' a 'waiting' Scottish manor in the middle of nowhere; our MC, Ailsa Calder, has inherited half of the building. Half, yep...the other half belongs to her father and the problem there, is that he went missing twenty-seven years ago. The second problem is she is unable to sell it.
Instantly, Ailsa has the impression that the house is watching her and it's not a welcoming vibe! After an unwelcome night-time visitor more mysterious and unsettling events continue; Ailsa becomes increasingly unsettled. The community is also watching her, and some are more welcoming than others.
This is a book about the past and its effect on future lives. Its pace is controlled and steady; I personally liked this. It's part ghost story, part thriller and missing person mystery with a modern Du Maurier style.
This book worked for me! Mysterious, eerie tale of lies and madness.
