"Ah, Elspeth, Elspeth - the breathy cadence of that name that is so nearly a whisper, a whisper inviting one to prick up one's ears and pay heed to the tale that is told in her words, her beautiful letters..." Gregory Arden a fussy fifty-something solicitor tasked with clearing out his aunt's house, has found a bundle of letters. Now you are invited to read them. Thus emerges a suspenseful and troubling story in the best gothic tradition. Trauma, loss, betrayal and cold, quick silver fear interweave, transporting the reader irresistibly into the haunted and haunting history of Elspeth. Reminiscent of Susan Hill with a sprinkling of Bridget Jones. A page-turner that might have you wanting to keep a light on.
