review 1: I really enjoy a good ghost story and here are two good ones. The book consists of two novellas-the first concerns a rare book dealer who, on a trip to visit a client, takes a wrong turn and stumbles upon a derelict house and garden. At one time, it had evidently been quite an ...

review 1: More Susan Hill greatness. Had one minor issue with the plotline but it matters little as I only read them for the Serrailer family and actually Hill could strip out all of the crime details and I woulsdn't really care. That said I do like the way she analyses particular issues, ...

review 1: Both of these ghost stories set in contemporary England concern an unusual, perhaps haunted, house. The first concerns a man who feels the presence of an invisible small hand, like that of a child, in his own when he accidentally comes across a house when lost in the countryside...

review 1: This was a well-written classic ghost tale, no more/no less. It was what you would expect to find in any number of ghost story anthologies. I felt like the "villains" met a hasty, convenient, unlikely conclusion and the ending didn't really work for me, but I wouldn't want to spo...

review 1: I really enjoyed this book and it would have gotten 5 stars if it hadn't of been for the ending. I must admit I was a bit disappointed and if you have read the book you might understand why. It seemed liked the ending was rushed. There were a few things that I think were left not...

review 1: I love Susan Hill and this is probably a bit harsh could push to 2.5. Still irks me to pay £7.99 for such a slim book. Anyway. The book. As in A Kind Man she writes about death. She does it well but just not a cheerful read. The whole book just felt so sad. A story about a family...

review 1: Another fine Simon Serrailler mystery - only this time, the killer comes very close to Simon. His sister Cat and her children still mourn the death of her husband and their father. Cat decided she would take additional courses on palliative care to work at the hospice and Simon...
