This is a non-fiction retelling of what happened when an English housewife suddenly began experiencing poltergeist activity in her home. This happened at a time when mediums and seances were popular in the UK and just prior to the first stirrings of WW 2. A prominent psychic investigator decided to look into the case. Lots of clever deception with Freudian overtones makes an interesting study of human nature. Four stars

I think this was a good closure for this YA trilogy. Maybe predictable but the story has action, suspense, mystery. The ending was hopeful, supportive. I liked it. 3.5⭐️

I was hoping for more from this book.
It takes a historical look at one ‘medium‘ in pre-WWII England. While the science is interesting and it‘s unique to see how the paranormal went to more pseudoscience, it was overall bland.

The true story of the 1930s investigation into the paranormal events surrounding suburban London housewife, Alma Fielding, including poltergeist activity in her home. Really interesting look at the rise of spiritualism following WWI.

Mitch @Soubhiville A high rise in people believing in-between the wars.. trying to connect back to love ones killed in the war. 😓 😓 2y
Soubhiville Ahhh, I can understand that. It would be pretty wonderful to be reconnected with a lost loved one. So less creepy then bittersweet? 2y
