The Sin Eater by Sarah Rayne (Nell West/Michael Flint series #2) – When Benedict Doyle finds himself the owner of his great-grandfather’s north London house, he is dismayed. For it was in that house, as a frightened eight-year-old, that the strange glimpses into his great-grandfather’s life began: eerie shutter-flash images that have gradually revealed sinister darkness in his family’s past.
Through that darkness runs the grisly thread of an old legend about a chess set – 32 carved figures believed to possess a dark power, but shut away in the forgotten library of a tumbledown Irish castle for many decades.
When Michael Flint, meeting Benedict in Oxford, starts to research his story, chilling facts begin to emerge – facts that suggest the old legend contains a disturbing reality.
And when Nell West, no stranger to the eeriness of old properties, begins to compile an inventory of Holly Lodge’s contents for her antique business, it seems that the chess set’s malevolence might be reaching out to the present . . .
The Silence by Sarah Rayne (Nell West/Michael Flint series #3) – Antiques dealer Nell West is valuing the contents of her late husband Brad’s childhood home, Stilter House. Set on the remote Derbyshire Peaks, there was once a much older property there, in which the notorious Isobel Acton committed a vicious crime. Warned against visiting the house by an elderly aunt of Brad’s, Nell hears mysterious piano music soon after her arrival. It becomes clear that the music is tangled with Isobel Acton’s macabre fate more than a hundred years earlier. A fate whose consequences still menace the present.
The Whispering by Sarah Rayne (Nell West/Michael Flint series #4) – Fosse House, home of the reclusive Luisa Gilmore, harbours curious secrets – secrets that stretch back almost a century, to the ill-fated Palestrina Choir in its remote Belgian convent.
When Oxford don Michael Flint travels to the house to trace the origins of the long-dead Choir, he is at once aware of the house’s eerie menace. Who is the shadowy young man who lurks in the grounds, and why does his exact likeness appear in a sketch from 1917? What is the strange whispering that echoes through the corridors? And why is Luisa so afraid when a storm makes it necessary for Michael to spend the night inside the house?
Back in Oxford, when Nell West uncovers the story of the infamous 1917 ‘Holzminden sketch’ – the lost, legendary drawing from World War I – a dark fragment of the past begins to stir. A fragment that Michael, in the lonely old house, may not be able to resist.
