Summary
From the author of the bestselling Psychic Surveys and Reach for the Dead series comes a Christmas Ghost Story like no other!
Is anyone ever who they seem?
After suffering the tragic loss of her best friend, Lottie Beck is struggling. Aged eighteen, she's flunked school and spends her days lying in a darkened room, doing nothing. Finally, she is forced to get a job in Silver Birches Care Home.
Once there, and after meeting the residents, particularly the feisty, no-nonsense Bobby, she settles in, appreciating how much history lies behind each person. A history she can read, in her own special way, via the simple touch of a hand.
Alice is another resident, aged ninety-two, and mute. A woman who has always been institutionalised and is now near the end of days. It is she who intrigues Lottie the most, but whom she also fears. All she knows is something happened to make her the way she is, an event on Christmas Eve, way back, something truly terrible. Surely, she deserves peace, but if together they aren't brave enough to confront what lurks in the darkest recesses of her mind, she'll die in anguish.
It's Christmas Eve again, 2023, and as Lottie is about to find out: not all ghosts are dead.

Gripping storyline with characters that draw you in completely
Very thought provoking story that made me think about us as people and what’s important. I loved the relationships Libby made with the characters especially Bobby. I loved this book

Great Book
I loved this book. I've listened to pretty much all Shani books, the stories are captivating, this is a lovely little ghost story, I didn't want it to end! I highly recommend this book.

Awful Save Your Money
Normally love Shani Struthers books but this book was sooooo boring. Story line very weak, in the end I didn’t actually care what happened to Alice. Made worse, if possible, by narrator.

the misty look
Good story teller but the book is hardly scary. I was under the impression it was a 'ghost story' NO it isn't. nothing remotely scary about this book. There are no ghosts just a teenager taking people's hands and reading their lives. Really quite disappointing. I was really looking forward to listening to it saved an audible credit for it and now wish I hadn't!
