 Some houses are NEVER at peace…

‘A gothic gem of intrigue and atmosphere’ HWA Debut Crown Judges

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)

A lovely, gentle, not too scary ghost story, set just after the first World War. Beautifully written with accurate attention to detail and very well narrated.

Engaging atmospheric story. Well read except for occasional jarring mispronunciations of words. (Impudence and pate spring to mind) but i looked forward to getting back to the story so that's a great sign. Enjoyable spooky mystery

Gripping story well told

I was completely wrapped up this ghostly gothic tale. There were creepy moments and poignant moments. The bittersweet story was expertly narrated.

Gloriously gothic

On the edge of your seat stuff!

Slightly Rebecca-like (Daphne d M). A mix of WW1 consequences, Muldur and Scilly, high Gothic. But it has a steely heroine and a heart
