Summary
After sending their only daughter off to boarding school, Cookson Selway and his wife, Ellen, travel to London to escape their empty house. But their quiet hotel has guests other than those on the register, and the vacation turns into a journey not only to another city but to another time.
As Selway is drawn into a series of mysterious encounters with a young girl who died in a fall from his hotel window sixty years earlier, the characters of her life become more real to him than those of his own. An escapist with an alcoholic history, he secretly relishes the chance to move from his lackluster reality into the high drama of the girl's past. But as he begins to do so, he jeopardizes his marriage and the lives of those around him, and the consequences of his escape are far greater than he could ever have imagined.
In an audiobook that is by turns comic, terrifying, and tragic, Dennis McFarland delivers a fascinating story of a haunted man's spiritual awakening.

pointless
I hate to write a review that has no substance but if I do on this occasion it will be just like the book itself. In short this book isn't a story. part of the way through the author talks about a story that isn't really a story and I belive this was the point that he realised he had lost his way and didn't have a clue what was going to bring this meandering nonsense to a close. Pointless ramblings of a mad man who goes on holiday to lock himself in his hotel room and reject his wife over some ghosts who never really do anything. Walter one of the ghosts is at a couple of points not very nice.....and that's about it.

Long and pondering with no pay off
Starts off interesting, offering hints to the protaganist's mental state, when he arrives in England there's lots of focus on the hotel and that he is being tormented by ghosts, but also his mental state is gradually degrading. This goes on and on, becoming more repetitive and frustrating, generally going nowhere and by the end nothings really resolved, the book just stops. If nothing else it could have been a lot shorter.
