The Haunting of Charity Delafield by Ian Beck

4.0

Borrowed from the library after finding positive reviews on my Goodreads feed. It was rather a quick read, but the entirety was well paced, and the writing quite elegant at times. Beck moves his tale along nicely, and creates a cast of believable characters which any child - or adult, let's face it - is sure to be captivated by. It put me in mind of Emma Carroll's lovely Frost Hollow Hall, and Tom's Midnight Garden by Philippa Pearce. A clever plot with rather a cliched ending, that thankfully didn't detract too much from the whole.
