Journalist, Kelly Reid, arrives at Stanthorpe House in Oxfordshire to visit friends and recover from her recent divorce. Her friends are converting the stately home into a hotel and are eager for Kelly to write an article about the ghost reputed to haunt the mansion. Kelly doesn't believe in ghosts, so when a man appears to her in the mirror in her bedroom, she's convinced it's an elaborate hoax.John Tarrant has been trapped in the mirrors of Stanthorpe House for 140 years. After committing a murder, which he freely admits, he's stuck in limbo for all eternity, neither alive or dead. His only hope of release is to convince the person who can see him to find a way to break the spell.I loved this intriguing and suspenseful romance. The developing relationship between Kelly and John is unusual and sensitively portrayed, given that they can't actually touch each other. The mystery of John's crime and how the spell could be broken kept me glued to my ereader. Top marks for a very satisfying read.
