An Inquiry into Love and Death Unabridged edition

From the acclaimed author of The Haunting of Maddy Clare -- and ''a talent to watch'' (Anne Stuart, New York Times bestselling author) -- comes another spellbinding ghost story set in 1920s England.

After her ghost-hunting uncle Toby dies, Oxford student Jillian must drive to the seaside village of Rothewell to pack up his belongings. Almost immediately, terrifying events convince Jillian that an angry spirit is trying to enter the house. Is it Walking John, the two-hundred-year-old ghost that haunts the bay? And who besides the ghost is roaming the local woods at night? If Toby uncovered something sinister, was his death really an accident?

The arrival of handsome Scotland Yard inspector Drew Merriken leaves Jillian with more questions than answers -- and the added complication of a powerful mutual attraction.
