Shari Lapena, author of The End of Her *********** England, 1925.
Louisa Drew lost her husband in the First World War and her
six-year-old twin sons in the Spanish Flu epidemic of 1918. Newly
re-married and seven months pregnant, Louisa is asked by her
employer to travel to Clewer Hall in Sussex where she is to
photograph the contents of the house for auction. She learns Clewer
Hall was host to an infamous seance in 1896, and that the lady of
the house has asked those who gathered back then to come together
once more to recreate the evening. When a mysterious child appears
on the grounds, Louisa finds herself compelled to investigate and
becomes embroiled in the strange happenings of the house.
Gradually, she unravels the long-held secrets of the inhabitants
and what really happened thirty years before... and discovers her
own fate is entwined with that of Clewer Hall's. For fans of The
Silent Companions, The Little Stranger and The Familiars, an
exquisitely crafted and compelling mystery that invites the reader
in to the crumbling Clewer Hall to help unlock its secrets.

creepy' Lisa Hall, author of The Perfect Couple 'A spooky treat,
