A great read- until near the end I thought, when it seemed to run out of steam. Certain puzzles throughout the book which had me wanting to keep reading to find the answers weren't answered and I finished the book feeling a bit disappointed.....
The blurb-
Recovering from the recent death of his wife in a tragic accident, Tony Sheridan goes to stay with his sister-in-law, Lucy, and her husband, long time friend Matt Prior, at their new home in the country- Otherways. It is a strange, circular, moated house, the only surviving creation of an eccentric and reclusive Edwardian architect.
Disturbed by memories of his wife and a growing attraction to Lucy, Sheridan is also troubled by weird and vivid dreams. He learns that a murder committed at Otherways in 1939 still has a strange and malign power over those living in or near the house, as does a later scandal surrounding the murderer's brother.
These and other mysteries forewarn Sheridan of disaster as he and Lucy embark on a passionate affair. But disaster, when it strikes, is far worse than a wrecked marriage or a friendship betrayed. In uncovering the truth about Otherways, Sheridan realises too late that he is merely adding to the list of its victims- and that those closest to him may soon be among them.

Well......I really enjoyed this, but the ending left me a bit confused. I had to go back and read a few pages to try and make sense of the last couple of paragraphs (which i still 100% don't get!). Could'nt stop reading it though, to find out what happened. Loved the whole concept, a house that retains the electrical energy of the previous owners. Although quite a scary thought that the misfortune of previous owners can effect the lives of those owners.......
