But as the extensive renovation work begins odd things start happening: a thumping in the empy attic that dislodges plaster from the ceiling of the room below. A lingering scent of honeysuckle. Then the building crew suffer not one but two nasty accidents. And suddenly there is talk of prayers and clairvoyants and messages from the dead... What terrible secret lies witin Colonsay? Can Rosamund make peace with her past and free her own future? |
