The Ghost Hunters

Sublime. This is 100% my kind of thing, and like all of Neil Spring's books it's a work of fiction based on fact, real people and real events. In this case it's the rise of spiritualism in post WWI Britain and centres around Harry Price who was an investigator and researcher in psychical phenomena and spent much of his time exposing fraudulent spiritualist mediums.

This probably isn't everyone's cup of tea, it's slow paced but its rich with wonderful characters and beautiful writing. I think reading this book last instead of first really helps, there are some lovely nods to the next book The Watchers and of course there is a 2nd Ghost Hunters The Lost Village featuring the wonderful Sarah Grey.

A mixture of fact and fiction equals an enjoyable ghost story.
