Adam’s eyes swelled in horror at the sight that confronted him. Henry was standing with his back against the front door, pale and rigid, his left hand pressed to his neck. Blood was seeping between his fingers, running down his wrist and dripping from his elbow onto the back of Jacob’s head. Jacob was facedown on the tiled floor, arms outstretched to either side with blood pooling around his wrists. There was a faintly metallic butcher’s shop smell in the air...

After the tragic death of their eleven-year-old son, Adam and Ella are fighting to keep their family from falling apart. Then comes an opportunity that seems too good to be true. They win a competition to live for free in a breathtakingly beautiful mansion on the Cornish Lizard Peninsula. There’s just one catch – the house is supposedly haunted.

Mystery has always swirled around Fenton House. In 1920 the house’s original owner, reclusive industrialist Walter Lewarne, hanged himself from its highest turret. In 1996, the then inhabitants, George Trehearne, his wife Sofia and their young daughter Heloise disappeared without a trace. Neither mystery was ever solved.

Adam is not the type to believe in ghosts. As far as he’s concerned, ghosts are simply memories. Everywhere he looks in their cramped London home he sees his dead son. Despite misgivings, the chance to start afresh is too tempting to pass up. Adam, Ella and their surviving son Henry move into Fenton House. At first, the change of scenery gives them all a new lease of life. But as the house starts to reveal its secrets, they come to suspect that they may not be alone after all…

A New Author with an Incredible Talent

Reviewed in Australia on 24 March 2019

Verified Purchase

Totally new author to me. What a great find! Always on the look out for new talent and this is what this is. Just paid $11 for another well known author's work and it wasn't a patch on this book. Really well written a great plot that had me guessing until the end and a little twist too.
No hesitation in recommending this book.

I enjoyed this book and finished it in a couple of days. The plot was clever but a bit messy at times, and I wish the ending had been better. I'd read more from this author.

So I usually stick to the same authors, knowing what sort of books I like. So I though, try someone different. I by God I'm so glad I did. Great storyline, all surrounded by ,the house, some very tense twist and turns, the story captures your imagination. Some great wording, expressions ,and lovely writing. So Ben Chretien congratulations, you've won me over, Looking forward to reading more

You're in for a treat.

Being a big fan of stories with a supernatural atmosphere, I was drawn to try this one. After satisfying myself that it wasn't one of the many cheap and sensational efforts that crowd the market, I settled down one afternoon and finished it off by early morning. That to me represents a good read.
Ben's writing held me rivetted. The pace is steady, builds up very nicely, with enough scary moments and unpleasant situations to strike home without becoming just plain nasty. Add to that a final twist I couldn't have foreseen...
Thanks for a real entertaining day.

More than a ghost story.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 December 2018

Verified Purchase

The title appeared in my favourite genre. I didn't know the author but I thought I'd give it a go. Glad I did. There was plenty of twists and turns which kept me reading ... one more chapter, then just one more. You know how it is when you get into a good book. I thought Ben portrayed how terrible grief can lead people to make decisions that they would otherwise never even consider in order to help 'mend' their souls. So when the truth of their decision is finally realised are the family able to undo in their minds what happened! Perhaps! The ending to this story also left me thinking. How I read it is, that one of the family at least is not the same anymore or ... maybe that person has, always been the the same! Will definitely be reading more of Bens' books now.

Don’t Look Back - Scary Read One to Read with the Lights on Maybe

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 April 2019

Verified Purchase

After reading this I felt like I needed to take a look at others by the same author.
Scary, building up to a growing fear as the story went on. A typical family seeing a chance of a life time and by some fluke winning it.
It did leave me thanking my lucky stars I read it during the days as reading it alone at night and any bump I heard would have made me that little bit tetchy to say the least. It flowed well through out and the old lady I did think at times did she really exist and why the heck always the same dress. Still didn’t get to know the answer to the dress part but the rest of it all sewn up nicely.
One of the best scary reads I’ve had recently and just hoping the previous books by the author are as good as honestly don’t think any could top this one. Will be interesting to see after I’ve read them.

Atmospheric Mystery

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 January 2019

Verified Purchase

This was my first book by this author but it wont be the last. I really enjoyed it. Adam and Ella still reeling from the loss of their son Jacob, dramatically change their lives for the sake of their other child Henry by moving to the Lizard Peninsula to an old Cornish Manor house, which houses a mystery. Three of the former residents disappeared under mysterious circumstances and another hung himself from the turret. The house is genuinely creepy and is shrouded in spookiness arousing the unwanted interest of many. As Adam, Ella and Henry try to repair their lives they soon realise their new home has secrets.Adam has never believed in ghosts maybe that is about to change.
