House of Spines
House of Spines | Michael J. Malone
2 posts | 3 read | 4 to read
Ran McGhie's world has been turned upside down. A young, lonely and frustrated writer, and suffering from mental-health problems, he discovers that his long-dead mother was related to one of Glasgow's oldest merchant families. Not only that, but Ran has inherited Newton Hall, a vast mansion that belonged to his great-uncle, who appears to have been watching from afar as his estranged great-nephew has grown up. Entering his new-found home, he finds that Great-Uncle Fitzpatrick has turned it into a temple to the written word - the perfect place for poet Ran. But everything is not as it seems. As he explores the Hall's endless corridors, Ran's grasp on reality appears to be loosening. And then he comes across an ancient lift; and in that lift a mirror. And in the mirror ... the reflection of a woman ... A terrifying psychological thriller with more than a hint of the Gothic, House of Spines is a love letter to the power of books, and an exploration of how lust and betrayal can be deadly...

I loved this book. It had ghosts and a haunted house where the main character lived. He questioned his sanity.
If you like the ghost shows on tv you will enjoy this book.

I was really looking forward to this book as it was reviewed as a mystery thriller. Although it was an enjoyable read, I didn‘t feel it had the suspense I was looking for, and came across as a little hokey. A little disappointing. Has anyone else read this one? Thoughts?
