Rendition During Books A Dark Dividing
Journalist Harry Fizglen is sceptical when his editor asks him to investigate the background of Simone Anderson, a new Bloomsbury artist. But once he's met the enigmatic Simone, Harry is intrigued.Just what did happen to Simone's twin sister who disappeared without trace several years before? And what is the Anderson sisters' connection to another set of twin girls, Viola and Sorrel Quinton, born in London on 1st January 1900?
All Harry's lines of enquiry seem to lead to the small Shropshire village of Weston Fferna and the imposing ruin of Mortmain House, standing grim and forbidding on the Welsh borders.
As Harry delves into the violent and terrible history of Mortmain, in an attempt to uncover what happened to Simone and Sonia and, a century before them, to Viola and Sorrel Quinton, he finds himself drawn into a number of interlocking mysteries, each one more puzzling -- and sinister -- than the last.

I took me some time to get into this book and for some reason I had to get used to the Sarah Rayne's writing style. Some parts just weren't written that well in my opinion. Fortunately, the book became more and more interesting, although one character, Roz, struck me as rather ridiculous and unconvicing. All in all I think it's a fairly interesting story with some surprising twists, although not as sinister and dark as I hoped it would be.This was a really good book that wove a story that was quite complicated, but intriguing. Two sets of conjoined twins were cleverly joined (pun) and the story's end was very satisfying. A really good read!
A creepy, gothic thriller.

Oh man, this one. Really really creepy book. Perfect for Halloween or any other time of the year. It truly disturbed me in a very good way. Liked it. Or I could just say, another creepy book that shouldn't be missed.
I read this book in one sitting. Intricately, deftly plotted, it was IMPOSSIBLE to put down! And such a Gothic, spooky atmosphere, too! Parts of it genuinely gave me the creeps. I just adored it! There were so many layers to the plot and it all just fit together so perfectly! And I loved the novel-within-the-novel, as well as Charlotte's diary. And I liked the twin aspect as well! I am very anxious to read this talented author's other books, but as they are rather emotionally draining, I think I
