I read this book a couple of years ago and I had hoped for a nice ghost story, but although the book was ok so was it not as haunting and creepy to read as I'd hope it would be. ( ) [Ghost Song] by Sarah Rayne 4.5★'s From The Book: The old Tarleton music hall is the subject of a mysterious building restriction that has kept it closed for more than 90 years. When Robert Fallon is asked to survey the structure, he finds clues indicating that its long twilight sleep may contain a sinister secret. Joining forces with researcher Hilary Bryant, Robert discovers the legend of the Tarleton's ghost, a mysterious figure that was first glimpsed during the era of Toby Chance, a charismatic performer who vanished suddenly and inexplicably in the early 1900s. After almost a century the Tarleton's dark silence is about to end, but there are those who find its reopening a threatening prospect. As Robert and Hilary delve into the macabre history, they both become menaced by the secrets of the past. My Thoughts: Loved the whole idea behind this book. The ghost was always there but you were never really allowed to see it...it just lurked in the shadows and waited. The old theater and the people that populated it in it's heyday in 1914 to the people that were curious about the legends and the stories that surrounded it in the present were more than intriguing. The story has several twists and turns as it takes the reader through the decades but it never allows the reader to guess the ending. Highly recommend this to all historical buffs...paranormal enthusiasts and anyone that just wants to brave a dark and stormy night with a shivery tale. At the centre of this novel stands the old Tarleton music hall. This mysterious edifice has been standing empty for over ninety years,due to a legal restraint placed upon it many years ago. It is administered by the Harlequin Society who are responsible for the building's upkeep,and as the book begins,a surveyor is sent to look over the building and do a detailed inspection. From this rather ordinary happening, begins a series of extraordinary events which end in tragedy for several people.As the story comes together,we find ourselves in the company of a cold-blooded and insane multi killer. Part of the plot concerns the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand which will plunge the world into war. However ultimately it is the Tarleton itself that will remain in the reader's memory more than the human characters. A marvellous story which is told at break-neck speed. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
