But the invitation comes from Angela, one of his wife’s oldest friends—and mysteriously, she claims she has something for him from his late wife. Reluctant but curious, David arrives at Headly Manor, an ancient house with an unsettling reputation. But life’s most haunting specters are not a matter of location.

"I have to admit that I was expecting a different sort of story than the one put forth here. This one is more of a Christian novel, which is okay, because it was done quite well. And I always admit when a story gets me to well up, as this one did. It is easy listening, and easy to follow. " — Donald (4 out of 5 stars)

" Written with such heart, it is hard to believe it is a work of fiction and not autobiographical "
" This was an interesting, different sort of book. It was about a Christian speaker who lost his wife, who he loved dearly, at a relatively young age. It was also set in England, which gave it a different sort of flavor. "
" A truly thought provoking book "
" Never quite got into this one. Not sure I would recommend it to any of my friends. I found a lot of the text hard to read and the flow wasn't the greatest. "
" Perplexing... but I am glad I read it. "
" Not my usual type of book since I understand the author is more of a religious writer, I chose it randomly because it sounded interesting. I thought it was relatively good and enjoyed it. A good story of love and loss. "
" Wow, a completely different Adrian Plass, more serious, deeper, and conflicted. Not a humorous read, but not a bad one either. Would recommend staying with the Sacred Diaries though. "
" Thought-provoking and strengthening. "
" Listening to audio book. Interesting story of a reunion of former youth group members. British. "
" I really think this is hte 'magnum opus' of Adrian Plass. Seriously recommended! "
" I'm an atheist, but I liked this book. Kind of. "
" Weird reading a non humor book from Adrian Plass, but it is still good and a nice change of pace for him. A must read for Plass fans. "
