He has arrived at Thistlewick House for revenge. But the dead have other ideas…

Norfolk, England, 1895: When renowned spiritualist Edward Blackmore is summoned by his cousin to a remote village on the Norfolk coast, his first thought is revenge. Because his cousin once stole everything from him. Including the woman he loved.

So when Edward strides into Thistlewick House, it’s his cousin’s wife Emma he’s really come for. Except, by the time he arrives, he’s too late. Emma has died, and in the most strange and unusual circumstances.

His cousin believes there are supernatural forces at play. But Edward – who has falsely claimed to be able to communicate with the lost spirits of the dead for years – is convinced murder is afoot. As he begins to investigate, he finds himself drawn into the lives of those in this isolated and unnerving village, especially that of the beguiling woman he keeps meeting on the beach.

But each answer he seeks leads to even more questions. And he may have to accept that perhaps not everything at Thistlewick House is quite what it seems…
