Midnight is a lonely place - Barbara Erskine

The book has everything, horror, suspense, romance, passion, terror, Barbara Erskine writes weather like no one else, you really get a strong picture in your head, I really recommend this book to anyone whos interested in history, spooky goings on and feeling a bit frightend themselves!

There is lots more to this book not mentioned in my plot description, I didn t want to spoil it too much! I hope you read it and enjoy it ...
