Synopsis:
"Good morning, Psychic Surveys. How can I help?"
The latest in a long line of psychically-gifted females, Ruby Davis can see through the veil that separates this world and the next, helping grounded souls to move towards the light - or 'home' as Ruby calls it. Not just a job for Ruby, it's a crusade and one she wants to bring to the High Street. Psychic Surveys is born.
Based in Lewes, East Sussex, Ruby and her team of freelance psychics have been kept busy of late. Specialising in domestic cases, their solid reputation is spreading - it's not just the dead that can rest in peace but the living too. All is threatened when Ruby receives a call from the irate new owner of Highdown Hall. Film star Cynthia Hart is still in residence, despite having died in 1958.
Winter deepens and so does the mystery surrounding Cynthia. She insists the devil is blocking her path to the light long after Psychic Surveys have 'disproved' it. Investigating her apparently unblemished background, Ruby is pulled further and further into Cynthia's world and the darkness that now inhabits it.
For the first time in her career, Ruby's deepest beliefs are challenged. Does evil truly exist? And if so, is it the most relentless force of all?
My
review:
I have already read the newest novel featuring Psychic Surveys with Ruby
Davies, Theo, Ness and Corinna. However this is the first book in the series
and it introduces the team to the readers. Psychic Surveys is a small business
created with customers and spirits in mind. Ruby and her team of psychics work
hard to help spirits find their way to the light and cross over to the other
side.
As business is picking up and Ruby meets the web designer Cash (who
sounds rather dashing), the company receives a call from Highdown Hall. An
angry spirit of a high profile 1950s actress Cynthia Hart still resides in the
mansion, taking over the first floor rooms and not letting anyone anywhere
close, which unsurprisingly doesn’t go down well with the new owner.
The team get tangled up in Cynthia’s very secretive personal live and
realise very early on that to help her move on, they will first need to uncover
the exact events that eventually led to her untimely death. She is angry and
hurt, but above all she seems to be petrified.
I love Ruby and her team and Cash seems to just slot in perfectly too. Ruby
has such a beautiful, forgiving outlook on life and all people living and dead.
She definitely meets her match at Highdown Hall, but she never leaves an
unhappy spirit behind and works hard to help everyone to get where they need to
get to.
