Description

They thought they had found their dream home.

They were wrong. 2008. The house Maxine and Seb have just bought was a bargain, a huge Georgian townhouse on the edge of Peckham Rye, it needs a lot of work but Max couldn’t resist it.

Now they are in, though, nothing seems to be going right and as the problems mount up, Max starts to doubt her relationship as well as her decision. Is Seb all he seems to be? And why are the neighbours so evasive about the house’s previous owner? 1994. Cookie and his parents have been forced by his dad’s gambling debts to move into the attic room of a big old house, as lodgers.

Tensions run high between them and their elderly landlady, and there’s something odd about the place that Cookie can’t quite put his finger on.

1843. Horatio built this house for his beloved wife, who then died in mysterious circumstances. After a second death on the premises, both his servants and the locals are starting to talk.
