Product Description
Product Description
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.

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.

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
