The Seance Reviews

The narrative, gracefully conceived, beautifully achieved, races along * Daily Telegraph *
Atmospheric... Harwood's writing adds a layer of ironic distance to fog effects, black-hearted villains and other old chestnuts * The Times *
Brilliantly atmospheric dark mystery... Try this if you like being scared out of your wits * Daily Mail *
Everything you could possibly ask for from a novel in this genre * Financial Times *
Harwood again proves himself a gifted storyteller... Seamlessly plotted, it is utterly compelling and full of suspense * Mail on Sunday *
