The Chapel
Nestled in the quiet and remote Cornish village of Trellen, The Old Chapel should be the ideal holiday getaway; but it’s not, for something is wrong with The Old Chapel. Very wrong.
Desperate to find answers as to why a dark-robed figure stalks its rooms, and the tortured cries of infants echo through the building at night; owners Sue and Tom Reed call on the help of ex-police detective - turned private and paranormal investigator, Mike Cross and his team to find a rational explanation behind these seemingly unexplainable reports. Before the team get a chance to investigate the renovated seventeenth-century chapel; now an idyllic holiday let; eighteen-year-old Ellie Harrison and her five-year-old brother, Henry, vanish without a trace from the building in the middle of the night.
Soon Mike Cross and his team find themselves embroiled in one of the strangest and most inexplicable missing persons cases of recent time, and in a race to unravel the dark and twisted past of The Old Chapel before they, Henry and Ellie become its next victims.

If you can get past the spelling and grammatical errors - of which there are many - this is a good read. The premise is captivating - it just needed a proper edit!

Brilliant read
This is one of the best books I've read in a long time .
The characters are well thought out and likable ,hoping there will be more to come with the team and the storyline is different from the usual horror books and it didn't feel like the book was rushed as some others I've read seem .

One sitting
Started this book and couldn't put it down. It pulls you in, especially if you like the paranormal. Great storyline with twists and turns. Interesting blend of storylines leaving you wondering where the story is heading but all coming together to flesh out the tale. The possibilities are all too believable.

Pedestrian story with shocking grammar (for example “should of” in place of “should have”) and numerous typos throughout the text. I don’t think this book has been proof read, which sadly made it difficult for me to read.

Excellent
Excellent story with good characters. I enjoyed the plot and the premise. If you like Stephen King you will enjoy this book. The story gives the Overlook Hotel a run for its money, The Chapel is truly a scary place.

Great read, kept me interested! I think the editor could have pared it down a bit- there was a lot of recounted info that didn't need to be repeated two or three times, for example, but that quibble aside, I found it pretty unputdownable.
