Beyond Black by Hilary Mantel
The first third of this book is very good and promises more delights to come. However I felt it flagged after that, and was far too long for its own good. Very few of the questions posed are particularly answered, and when they are, those answers are not particularly interesting. And the characters basically bored me! Altogether, I found it rather disappointing and not at all the 'ghost story' I had thought it would be.
