Seahurst S.A. Harris 9781784632717 [USED COPY]

Evie Meyer and her son Alfie flee from her abusive partner Seth to spend New Year with her half-brother Luke at their late father's summer home on the Suffolk Coast, only to find Seahurst abandoned and Luke missing. Evie searches for her brother, filled with a deepening dread that something is very wrong at Seahurst and their father's death may not have been suicide after all. As Seahurst's ancient and sinister secrets unfurl around her, Evie fears the souls of the dead will soon claim another terrible revenge.

I absolutely raced through this, completely gripped by the present day horrors faced by Evie and Alfie: uncertainty, loss, grief, and an all too believably manipulative and controlling man. Seahurst itself is a wonderful creation; beautiful, sinister, gleamingly modern, and built on the bones of a terrible tragedy. Highly recommended.

Seahurst is everything a dark and chilling gothic ghost story should be. And I loved it

Seahurst is an excellent gothic read.

Seahurst is a gripping, dark, spooky novel that had me turning the pages and devouring it in a matter of days.

Sally Harris's new book Seahurst, which is a truly sinister, shadowy, scintillating, and scarily sublime modern gothic read ... that will thrill and terrify you all at once.

This is a gripping and atmospheric tale. The Suffolk setting is powerful and the characters are well drawn with all the different elements of the plot sensitively handled. I thought it was great and was sorry when it came to an end - though I took care not to read it late at night, or in a strange place.
