Night After Night cover

A seriously spooky supernatural thriller by the bestselling author of the Merrily Watkins series. This is a stay-up-all-night page-turner that will have you riveted.

Contains scenes some viewers may find disturbing...

Leo Defford doesn't believe in ghosts. But, as the head of an independent production company, he does believe in high-impact TV.

Defford hires journalist Grayle Underhill to research the history of Knap Hall, a one-time Tudor farmhouse that became the ultimate luxury guest house...until tragedy put it back on the market. Its recent history isn't conducive to a quick sale, but Defford isn't interested in keeping Knap Hall for longer than it takes to make a reality TV show that will run night after night...

A house isolated by its rural situation and its dark reputation. Seven people, nationally known, but strangers to one another, locked inside. But this time, Big Brother may not be in control.

Engrossing and beautifully dark, combining personality disordered TV performers (like myself) and morally vacant journalists along with a collection of spiritual and spirited oddballs all residing in a Big Brother type situation and the inevitable clashes that result. Chuck in a house which may or may not be haunted but certainly has the bleakest of atmospheres and a cracking good read ensues.
