A House of Ghosts by W.C. Ryan
4.0
“In a House of Ghosts, the Living Await, Their Certain Fate”
As the First World War enters its most brutal phase, back home in England everyone is seeking answers to the darkness that has seeped into their lives. At Blackwater Abbey, a spiritualist gathering is commencing in order to try and contact relatives that are lost in conflict. When a storm descends on the island the guests find themselves trapped. Soon one of their numbers will die.
This is a real “whodunnit” book! It reminded me very much of a murder mystery weekend with an added factor of the afterlife or in between life. It is a real page turner and for the last half of the book I was convinced that I knew who was responsible. How wrong was i?!
I was very lucky to be sent this book from readers first before it was published. It was a real page turner and beautifully written. The detail on the hardcover is wonderful and there is no dust sheet so you can see the beauty of it throughout your read.
