3 posts | 6 read | 1 reading | 2 to read
A ghost story, a psychological thriller and a tale of love rediscovered, from the bestselling author of SALMON FISHING IN THE YEMEN. Elizabeth has been married to Michael for ten years. She has adjusted to a fairly monotonous routine with her wealthy, decent but boring husband. Part of this routine involves occasional visits to Beinn Caorrun, the dank and gloomy house in a Scottish glen that Michael inherited. There are memories there that Michael will not share with her. But then Michael begins to change. It starts when he thinks he sees, in a picture, the figure of a girl on a landing. As he changes, life becomes so much more fun and Elizabeth sees glimpses of a man she can fall in love with at last. But who - or what - is changing Michael ...?

This got off to an intriguing start but both the main characters had an identical narrative voice and neither were especially likeable. It wasn't creepy enough to be a decent ghost story and the portrayal of mental illness was verrrrrry dodgy.

Looks like I only paid £2.99 for it though so that's a bargain 😂

Wow. What a book - read it in one sitting. Story of Michael and his wife Elizabeth, Michael is a wealthy gentlemen then one day his behaviour appears to change...
Very chilling story, fast paced.
