This is the 4th case in the Psychic Surveys series. It can be read as a stand alone, but why would you do that when there are 3 other novels and 2 novellas to read first?!
I'm a big fan of this series of books. I like how each case covers a different aspect of hauntings and psychic phenomena. I found this case really interesting. The symbolism of cross roads and lay-lines were well used, and the effects of the case on the local village, wide ranging.
Ruby, Cash and Jed investigate spiritual occurrences at Old Cross Cottage and have a lot on their hands. I'm not sure if I liked Mary or not. Part product of her unstable and violent upbringing, and part manipulator, her story is complex and multi-layered. I was concerned many times through the book for Ruby's physical and mental well-being, and was shocked at what she and Cash discovered.
I think this case is the most complex of the series so far. It gives you a lot to digest, but in a really engaging way. The pace of the book never slows and certain parts I didn't see coming. A special mention has to go to Jed. A faithful, loyal spiritual sidekick who played a big part in helping Ruby and Cash solve the case.
Highly recommended!

Ohh, this makes me really want to check out this series. Thanks for reviewing it. It sounds a lot like the ghost hunting I experienced in my younger days.

It's a great book. It's readable as a stand alone but I think you'd also like the rest of the series too!
Thanks Mark, will likely read them all...might bump it up the pile to read it next!
Hello all, I've read all the books in the psychic surveys series so far and have enjoyed them all. I'm halfway through Old Cross Cottage at the mo and am intrigued by it all. The author certainly knows her stuff when it comes to realism. Love her books
