Why read it?

1 author picked The Forgotten Room as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

It's a great ghost story with a likable lead and an intriguing mystery to solve. The author combines science and the occult to craft an unsettling tale that kept me hanging onto my seat to the thrilling conclusion. Even though this is the fourth book in a series (the first one that I read), I felt perfectly at ease with the characters and was persuaded to read the rest of the series. The real-worldesque approach to occult events with scientific underpinnings really drew me in.
