The old Tarleton music hall on London's Bankside is the subject of a mysterious restraint order that has kept it closed for over ninety years. When Robert Fallon is asked to survey the building, he finds clues indicating that its long twilight sleep may contain a sinister secret. Joining forces with researcher Hilary Bryant, Robert discovers the legend of the Tarleton's 'ghost' - a mysterious figure who was first glimpsed during the time of the charismatic performer Toby Chance, once the darling of Edwardian audiences until he vanished suddenly and inexplicably in the early 1900s. After almost a century, the Tarleton's dark silence is about to end. But there are those who find its re-opening a threatening prospect and, as Robert and Hilary delve into the macabre history of one of London's oldest music halls, they both become menaced by the secrets of the past.

I could not put this down, it was full of drama and suspense from the very beginning and every twist and turn was fantastic! I loved the characters and how they were developed, and think this is the best Sarah Rayne I have read so far. Can't wait to read the next one!

I just love Sarah Rayne's books. Her style of writing draws you right into the story, and this one is my favourite one so far. It's got everything - it's spooky and sad, exciting and interesting. The characters are wonderful, the storylines are original and the way the past and the present are intertwined is genius!
I don't want to give anything away about this book, it's so good I want everyone to enjoy it as much as I did.

Loving it! Not finished it yet (pg 286) but I never want to stop reading it. It's the first I have read by this author and if the ending is as good as the rest I shall be back for more. I love the transitions through the ages, she creates a lovely flow through the periods.

Another scorcher by Sarah Rayne! I read Sarah's first book whilst waiting for Mo Hayder to publish her next and she is a great psycho author however she does tend to flit between past and present in her books and I know some people find this frustrating but her books are high pace and will keep you hooked from cover to cover.

Spooky and atmospheric, a little slow in places, bit of a silly ending.
I enjoyed Property of a lady much more.

I have to say I am becoming fan of Sarah Rayne. 1st book I purchased was Roots of Evil and frankly speaking I though it will be one of those books which help you survive long flight but completely forgotten afterwards.
How wrong was I!
Great books (Roots of Evil and Ghost Song), sexy and stylish, well researched and perfect for movie screenplay. There is a crime, adventure, romance, mistery, hint of madness, dash of history and attractive hero and heroins.
Story is jumping of the pages.
Well done Sarah!

Sarah Rayne is one of my favourite authors so I looked forward to this new one with great anticipation. As usual she delivers the fantastic scene setting she always does, when I read of being alone in the theatre I actually felt quite scared myself, she is a master of bringing the eeriness of these deserted buildings to the reader. However, whilst it is still an enjoyable read I didn't think it was her best novel, I found some of the earlier parts about Toby Chance's involvement in the political group a bit dreary, although it was obviously necessary to the plot as I discovered later.
Overall, it's chilling and intriguing but not just as good as some of her other books.

The title cover does not do this book justice- this engaging, exciting but easy read book is much more than a crime investigation novel. Its a book for all those who wish they could , even for a moment , reach into a bygone age. Beautifully descriptive , with just enough menace to keep you wanting to know more. I loved it , if only the Tarleton were a real place!!!

An entertaining ghost/mystery story
This is a good story - it's described as a "psychological thriller" - I certainly would not describe it as that, but it is a ghost/mystery story. Read more
