The year is 1997, and Crossley Manor finally has new owners. Having stood undisturbed for many years, the grand old house is about to be dragged into the modern age. But does a dark secret lurk in the empty rooms?
Rachel Reed has a plan. She's not only going to turn Crossley Manor into a luxury hotel, she's also going to launch a series of ghost hunts. The house has a long history, and many locals tell tales of ghostly happenings on the estate. Rachel sees no harm in trying to exploit this history in an attempt to lure visitors down from London. Despite opposition from some of the locals, she's determined to bring the house's past to life.
Soon, however, Rachel discovers that not all the ghosts of Crossley Manor are keen to be used in this way. There's a reason why the Crossley family faded into oblivion, and three hundred years have done nothing to calm one woman's desire for revenge. Can Rachel discover the truth about the ghosts and their fear of one particular room? Or is the secret of Crossley Manor about to claim more victims?
The Ghosts of Crossley Manor is the ninth book in the Ghosts of Crowford series. Each book is a standalone story, and there's no need to read them in any particular order.

This had some good moments, particularly around the mysterious locked room. What is in there that is so terrible that even the resident ghosts are afraid of it? Unfortunately when we find out it's all a bit underwhelming, but I won't give any spoilers. I think my problem with it is that some plot parts are cropping up a bit too often in her recent books. For instance, we have the ghostly couple touchingly reunited, we have people having their necks snapped, cartoon-style. And some continuity problems, such as at one point Rachel drives her car into a ditch, and then, (presumably) later that day she's driving up to the house again!
We have some rather clangy references to Tony Blair being elected, and the death of Princess Diana, just to make it clear that this is 1997, but to be honest Amy never seems entirely comfortable with setting things in the past. I think we have someone checking the screen on their phone at one point (in the mid-90s? As if!). There is a reference towards the end of one of them having some bright idea of inventing Facebook, which i think was meant to be a joke. On the whole, it had its moments though.

There is opposition from the village but the couple are determined to make it happen by bringing the past to life.
I do enjoy this author’s stories, the writing is fast-paced while the tales, though fiction, have a sense of reality. Many of the characters are fools in her stories, but that makes for a great story. There is always a mystery, there are always twists and turns and there is certainly an eerie sense of place. Book nine of the series is no exception.
Not wanting to give spoilers, I will just say that this is an engaging ghost story.
But then, there is no such thing as ghosts...?
Recommended.


Great storyline, solid characters and twists and turns to keep you guessing.
Roll on number 10.
