Lost Among the Living by Simone St. James

4.0

Having read a few of Simone St. James’s more recent and modern novels, I wasn’t sure what to expect with a story set in 1914-1920s. I really enjoyed it. She was able to take me to that time period with ease, the use of setting, language, and atmosphere was stunning. I found the mystery a slow-burning one and I loved the ghostly hauntings at Wych Elm House and all the secrets. While the conclusion was not super twisty or surprising, I found it satisfying. In many ways, this story reminded me of Daphne Du Maurier’s Rebecca.
