The Seance

I quite enjoyed the mysterious novel The Seance by John Harwood. Set in 19th century England it is about a series of characters whose lives intersect around a seriously creepy old grand house. There have been some strange deaths and disappearances involved with the house. When it is inherited by a young woman, Constance Langton, she sets out to learn more about the house and about her own heritage. The story is told through the journals of the characters and the suspense is carried through until we learn the answer to the puzzle of the house. 4/5
