The Girl On The Landing | Paul Torday

3 posts | 6 read | 1 reading | 2 to read

A ghost story, a psychological thriller and a tale of love rediscovered, from the bestselling author of SALMON FISHING IN THE YEMEN. Elizabeth has been married to Michael for ten years. She has adjusted to a fairly monotonous routine with her wealthy, decent but boring husband. Part of this routine involves occasional visits to Beinn Caorrun, the dank and gloomy house in a Scottish glen that Michael inherited. There are memories there that Michael will not share with her. But then Michael begins to change. It starts when he thinks he sees, in a picture, the figure of a girl on a landing. As he changes, life becomes so much more fun and Elizabeth sees glimpses of a man she can fall in love with at last. But who - or what - is changing Michael ...?

The Girl On The Landing | Paul Torday

so-so

This got off to an intriguing start but both the main characters had an identical narrative voice and neither were especially likeable. It wasn't creepy enough to be a decent ghost story and the portrayal of mental illness was verrrrrry dodgy.

Looks like I only paid £2.99 for it though so that's a bargain 😂
