A haunting tale of apparitions, a cursed manor house, and two generations of women determined to discover the truth, by the author of The Ghost Writer.
Sell the Hall unseen; burn it to the ground and plow the earth with salt, if you will; but never live there…
Constance Langton grows up in a household marked by death, her father distant, her mother in perpetual mourning for Constance's sister, the child she lost. Desperate to coax her mother back to health, Constance takes her to a séance; perhaps she will find comfort from beyond the grave. But the meeting has tragic consequences. Constance is left alone, her only legacy a mysterious bequest that will blight her life.
So begins this brilliant and gripping novel, a dark mystery set in late-Victorian England. It is a world of apparitions, of disappearances and unnatural phenomena, of betrayal and blackmail and black-hearted villains - and of murder. Constance's bequest comes in two parts: a house and a mystery. Years before, a family disappeared at Wraxford Hall, a decaying mansion in the English countryside with a sinister reputation. Now the Hall belongs to Constance, and she must descend into the darkness at the heart of the Wraxford mystery to find the truth - even at the cost of her life.

All the different timelines and how it all came together at the end.
I also enjoyed the different voices for the different characters BUT Constance’s narration was very bad and distracting.
Screaming the one minute, soft the next, fast and then slow. I couldn’t bond with Constance because of the terrible narration.
Brilliant story - one narrator not so much!

I don’t know enough about the story itself to give a good/bad review so I left it at three stars. I feel badly doing that. There didn’t seem to be a way to not leave any stars.
There was no getting use to that voice for me. Very sorry.
I will buy the book
