I brought this home from the Little Free Library in the City of Leeds Museum cafe yesterday when a group of local BookCrossers met to talk and swap books over lunch. I chose it because I thought I'd enjoyed books by this author in the past. I was right. I had! My records show that I've read a few - but not since 2014 . . .

From Google Overview: "Recovering from the recent death of his wife in a cliff fall, Tony Sheridan goes to stay with her sister and her husband at their house in Rutland. The house, called Otherways, is in some senses a character in the story- a strange, circular, moted construction dating from Edwardian times.Disturbed by memories of his wife and a growing attraction to her sister, and troubled by vivid dreams, Sheridan learns that a murder committed at the house in 1939 still has resonances for those living in the neighbourhood, including the sister of the murdered woman.There is a scandal surrounding the murderer's brother, and enough hints of other mysteries to forewarn Sheridan of impending disaster as he embarks on a secret affair. But that disaster is far worse than a friendship betrayed. Its nature is revealed by the ghosts that have haunted Otherways over the years - of whom he comes to fear that he may be one himself."

Well that was all very thrilling. More twists and turns, ups and downs than the most complicated roller coaster. A real page-turner, couldn't put it down!

To my friend and neighbour, Blower - socially distanced, of course. Left on her patio table for her to find on returning from her daily exercise :-)

From my friend and neighbour Nu-Knees in the middle of the first Lockdown.
This was on my pile of books to be read. I wasn't sure about it at the time so left it for a while.
Glad I picked it up again. I couldn't put it down.
It was a great mix of crime, mystery, spy story, thriller, love interest with a touch of the supernatural.
What an excellent read.

Delivered to a friend who is a new BookCrosser.
Hopefully they will both enjoy it.
