Publisher's summary

Some houses are never at peace.

Shortlisted for the Goldsboro Books Glass Bell Award.

Shortlisted for the Historical Writers’ Association Debut Crown.

England, 1917.

Reeling from the death of her fiancé, Stella Marcham welcomes the opportunity to stay with her pregnant sister, Madeleine, at her imposing country mansion, Greyswick - but she arrives to discover a house of unease and her sister gripped by fear and suspicion.

Before long, strange incidents begin to trouble Stella - sobbing in the night, little footsteps on the stairs - and as events escalate, she finds herself drawn to the tragic history of the house.

Aided by a wounded war veteran, Stella sets about uncovering Greyswick’s dark and terrible secrets - secrets the dead whisper from the other side....

In the classic tradition of The Woman in Black, Anita Frank weaves a spellbinding debut of family tragedy, loss and redemption.

Critic reviews

"Supernatural and historical intertwine in Anita Frank’s unsettling first novel...reminiscent of other tales of the supernatural, but conveys its own frissons and shocks." (Sunday Times)

"With wonderful character...This is a brilliantly gothic adventure – and the perfect winter page-turner." (Sunday Mirror)

Great ghostly period mystery

I truly enjoyed getting lost in this WWII era ghost story mystery. It's a true page-turner and exceptionally well written.

Classic ghost story

This book is a worthy read for those who enjoy a classic ghost story, based on human behavior, rather than outright horror.

World War I is a compelling era for the setting and characters because the world was changing quickly and chaotically: war, technology, women’s rights, social order, etc.

I did get frustrated during the scenes that lingered long on false accusations and misdiagnoses, but the overall story was worth it.

Even though I had most of the mystery worked out long before the protagonists did, I still enjoyed the unraveling of the threads.

It was not a frightening tale, but an enjoyable investigation.
