It was lovely to lose myself in such a dark and eerie read after two weeks of relentless work. This Welsh one in Denbigh definitely gave me the shivers – And it’s all yours for 2.5 million…
Is anyone else like me and love to go online and look for their imagined settings of the book that they’re loving, to try and see its world come to life? I love doing it and I found myself scrolling through pages and pages of remote locations, trying to find my own version of Rosalind House and imagine Jack and Ali arriving there. Usually, I find that when writers are this good at one of these things, the other definitely suffers – but just like her other books, The Lingering is definitely the exception to the rule… What I love about Susi Holliday as a writer is the fact that you just could not choose between her plotting and her characterisation in any of her books. I was so excited to receive a copy in the post from Anne Cater and I have been telling people about it ever since I closed its final page. Halloween week couldn’t be more appropriate and if you like your reads to be mysterious and brooding, you have absolutely come to the right place. As the residents become twitchy, and the villagers suspicious, events from the past come back to haunt them, and someone is seeking retribution…Īt once an unnerving locked-room mystery, a chilling thriller and a dark and superbly wrought ghost story, The Lingering is an exceptionally plotted, terrifying and tantalisingly twisted novel by one of the most exciting authors in the genre.Ĭould there actually BE a better time to be telling you that just have to go out and buy yourself a copy of The Lingering by SJI Holliday? When Jack and Ali arrive, a chain of unexpected and unexplained events is set off, and it becomes clear that they are not all that they seem. The local village is known for the witches who once resided there and Rosalind House, where the commune has been established, is a former psychiatric home, with a disturbing history. Married couple Jack and Ali Gardiner move to a self-sufficient commune in the English Fens, desperate for fresh start.
