Two seances, two love stories and two killers linked across time by a single journal. In 1890s Shoreditch, Mary typesets her journal hoping that one day someone will read it and discover the terrifying truth behind the facade of her marriage and her fears as to who her husband might be. In 1990's Notting Hill, Theo, the painfully shy owner of a London bookshop discovers it just before attending a seance with a girl with whom he is secretly in love. Neither Mary nor Theo are prepared for the events that follow or the ties that will bind then across a hundred years. Set in modern Notting Hill against the backdrop of a John Christie copy cat murder, Seance is both an intriguing murder mystery and a haunting love story
