Product Description Recovering from the recent death of his wife in a cliff fall, Tony Sheridan goes to stay with her sister and her husband at their house in Rutland. The house, called Otherways, is in some senses a character in the story: a strange, circular, moted construction dating from Edwardian times. Disturbed by memories of his wife and a growing attraction to her sister, and troubled by vivid dreams, Sheridan learns that a murder committed at the house in 1939 still has resonances for those living in the neighbourhood, including the sister of the murdered woman. There is a scandal surrounding the murderers brother, and enough hints of other mysteries to forewarn Sheridan of impending disaster as he embarks on a secret affair. But that disaster is far worse than a friendship betrayed. Its nature is revealed by the ghosts that have haunted Otherways over the years - of whom he comes to fear that he may be one himself. Recovering from the tragedy of his wife's death, Tony Sheridan goes to stay with his sister-in-law, Lucy, and her husband in their new home, Otherways. In uncovering the truth about Otherways, Sheridan realizes too late that he is merely adding to the list of its other victims. Haunting new mystery a strange house links past and present, a murder, a political scandal and an unexplained tragedy. Author to watch.
