Publisher's Summary:
Sometimes we're not alone.
What is the secret behind the brutal murders that have taken place sporadically over the last century in a small, insignificant South London terraced house?
The Reverend Bernard Paltoquet is determined to find out when two of his favorite parishioners are found with their heads caved in in front of the ornate Victorian fireplace by their five-year-old son, Henry Freeman.
This fireplace seems to be the key to the puzzle. Despite years of neglect, the living room hearth is always spotlessly clean, like the day it was installed. Why?
This novel centers around the Reverend Paltoquet and his search for the truth. The other chief protagonist is Edith Lomax, an unhappily married doctor's wife, who resides in 57 Bockhampton Road, where the first murders take place back in 1896. This triple murder of a man and two children sets in train the series of murders that are to follow.
The search for the truth, which involves another six murders by the same fireplace in the same room in the same house following on from the first murders, culminates in the present day with an exorcism that doesn't work. We discover that there are many restless spirits trapped in the house, forced to remain by the violence of their deaths, and unable to communicate with the living world until a medium helps to set them free.
Reverend Paltoquet's close friend, Dorothy Plunkett, is that medium. He calls on her to help these spirits to their final rest, and this is when we learn the truth behind the murders. And the real perpetrator of the crimes.

... at first but as the story progressed it got better. over all it's a great novel
switching from one period of time to the other was a bit of a turn off at first but as the story progressed it got better. over all it's a great novel, well written, couldn't let go of the book at times. looking forward to the next book.
Three Stars
A bit of a slow start, but then picked up and piqued my interest more.
Great book to curl up with in front of a fire ;-)
This is a terrific read with a great ending. When Jerry Bracegirdle buys the dilapidated 57 Bockhampton Road property he finds he's got more than just home repair problems. People have been murdered in this house and it seems to be infested with an evil that dates back to a triple murder in 1896. Jerry will find the truth with the help of the Reverend Bernard Paltoquet, Dr Robbie MacTavish, and medium Dorothy Plunkett (along with a helpful cabdriver named Omar Kemal). The author does a wonderful job of telling the stories from 1896, 1952, 1966 and other significant years interwoven with Jerry's story set in 2008.
