A traditional ghost story, set in the English county of Hertfordshire in 1704, Behind Me has all the things that go bump in the night, with a twist in the tail when Herbie's friends from Romania come to stay... It is locally rumoured that Wainwright Manor is haunted. Nineteen year old Sarah Collins thinks this is ridiculous, that there’s a logical explanation for everything. She grabs the opportunity to escape from her nit-picking mother and moves into the manor house as nursemaid to the kind owner, Herbie, who is desperately ill. In no time at all, Sarah’s disbelief that ghosts exist is challenged and turned completely on its head, as strange goings on turn into horrifying experiences. Whose face does she glimpse at the upper floor window? Who keeps undoing all her hard work? What exactly is it that disturbs her at night? Just when she cannot stand it any longer, when she is torn between her duty to Herbie and her own sanity, the Malcovic family arrive. The family are perfect in every way. Despite Sarah’s initial uneasy suspicion that there is something more to them, that they are not quite what they seem, she finds herself romantically drawn to one of the sons, the consequences of which she could never have imagined. This is not a children's fairy story... "Just brilliant, you have got to read this book." ~ Ann Foster "An enjoyable read…I was unable to put it down… The story moved along at a good pace." ~ Maria
