About the Book

March 1928. The Great War has been over for ten years, but Freddie Abrahams still hasn't recovered from the loss of his brother. Even now, on holiday in south-west France, he cannot escape his grief. When his car crashes, Freddie stumbles down from the hills to a village nearby. There he meets Marie, a beautiful young woman who is also mourning a lost generation. Her story of the fate of her family moves him deeply. But it will also lead Freddie to the caves above the village - and to the heart of a shocking secret. By turns thrilling, poignant and haunting, this is a story of two lives touched by war and transformed by courage. THE WINTER GHOSTS is the gripping new adventure from the number-one bestselling author of LABYRINTH and SEPULCHRE.

Review :
Beautiful and haunting, this is a great story of love, loss and courage. - WOMAN Draw the curtains, bank up the fire and enjoy. - WATERSTONE'S BOOKS QUARTERLY an absorbing tale of loss and remembrance in the aftermath of the First World War ... Mosse excels at transporting her readers into another time and another world ... Mosse's depiction of life in Southern France between the wars is utterly convincing. Not only that, the book itself is a work of art - with stunning illustrations by artist Brian Gallagher and copies of vintage maps as endpapers. - THE EXPRESS - Emma Lee-Potter a poignant, spooky study of mourning and redemption - MARIE CLAIRE The themes of love, loss and remembrance are explored to create a wonderfully haunting winter's tale. Stop the clock and read it in one sitting. - SHE an enchanting novella ... Mosse proves that she can weave a web of poignant and thrilling strands that will ensnare any reader. - THE LADY this is a great read ... Mosse writes movingly about loss and atmospherically about France - DAILY MAIL - Wendy Holden Mosse flits between between the centuries, knitting together a compelling historical yarn with a more modern one - THE INDEPENDENT

    A Thrilling But Totally Believable Murder Mystery

    Read this in one evening. I had planned to do other things with my day, but it was impossible to put down. Every time I tried, I was drawn back to it in less than 5 minutes. I sobbed my eyes out the entire last 100 pages. Highly recommend!
