In 1920s England, a working-class girl who can see spirits works with a lord's son to solve mysterious deaths at the local manor home in this "intensely atmospheric and eerie…compelling, secret-filled gothic tale" (Kirkus Reviews, starred review) perfect for fans of The Haunting of Bly Manor and Downton Abbey.
Wilhelmina Price has a dubious reputation in the village of Thrush's Green. Ever since her mother's untimely death, she has been able to see a person's spirit leaving their body days or hours before they die. Wil has never been able to prevent these deaths, so her unusual skill has made her an outsider to most except her lifelong friend, Edison, the youngest son of Lord Summerfield. But when a maid at the Summerfield's estate dies in the same mysterious way as Wil's own mother, Wil takes on a housemaid's position to investigate whether these women might, in fact, have been murdered.
There is nothing Ed Summerfield values more than his friendship with Wil, which is why he's desperate to disguise how hopelessly in love with her he's becomeand his belief that he may be haunted by the ghost of his older brother, Peter. Because if Wil, with her supernatural powers, can't see the same evidence of hauntings that Ed does, he worries he may actually be losing his mind.
Together, Wil and Ed must dig deeper into the Summerfields' hoard of secrets, though the truth won't give itself up without a fight that could prove deadly to the both of them, as they face cunning adversaries among the living and the dead.

The Haunting of Summerfield Manor
A thrilling and stunningly haunting novel, about two childhood friends falling in love and unravelling the mystery of the Summerfield Manor. I was absolutely captivated from the beginning. I was so fond of Wilhelmina and Edison that I rooted for them non-stop, but I stayed for the secrets of the Family, slowly getting revealed. There were so many plot twist (but it still made sense!), one of which made me angry at first, but it got explained later on, relieving me to the fullest. It is beautifully written and the story is easy to follow. I loved the setting and the unique characters. I really liked the two protagonists, their thoughts understandable, their love adorable. You'll hold your breath till the last page and won't see all the twists coming!
