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…

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.

The bland family have a lot of bland, pointless sex and make so many bad decisions I was dizzy from the number of eye rolls. Who sends their 11 year old son out on his first day at school in the local village and thinks it’s a good idea not to tell him his house is famously haunted? Of course none of the other kids will delight in telling him will they? And they still carry him up to bed like he is six. They shop for food, eat and that’s about as interesting as they get.
There were enough good ideas to keep me reading to the end, but even the ending felt rushed and incomplete, like the author just vomited the answers onto the last five pages. There was no order and even less sense. I half expected the last line to read “and then I woke up and it was all a dream.”
Ok as a throwaway book for lockdown but could have been so much better.
