1867. On a dark and chilling night Eliza Caine arrives in Norfolk to take up her position as governess at Gaudlin Hall. As she makes her way across the station platform, a pair of invisible hands push her from behind into the path of an approaching train. She is only saved by the vigilance of a passing doctor.

It is the start of a journey into a world of abandoned children, unexplained occurrences and terrifying experiences which Eliza will have to overcome if she is to survive the secrets that lie within Gaudlin’s walls…

Wonderfully creepy…This magnificently eerie novel takes us on a skilful journey through fear
A superior ghost story… Truly spine-tingling
A lesson in classic storytelling… Boyne takes us on a highly original, entertaining journey that, like all great ghost stories, saves its most unexpected twist for the very end
Great fun…A constant barrage of surprises and the pace is terrific
All stars

What a great story! In the vein of 'The Woman In Black' and "Turn of the Screw". Evocatively read and will definitely go in search of more like this.

Predictable but still enjoyable (there was only one little twist I didn't see coming; the rest of the book followed a pretty standard horror story template). Harrie Hayes did a wonderful job.

I really enjoyed this. I had no idea what to expect but I loved all of it. The main characters were relatable and fascinating and please let there be a sequel!

Eerie and moody!

The reader does well to portray what I’m afraid is a ‘Downton Abbey’ ghost story!
I am a John Boyne fan - this one I only just managed to finish on x2 !

What a shame
