The Falls

by Ralph Burton

After a lethal house fire, fifteen-year-old Emily Fall and her family relocate to the Yorkshire Moors in the hopes of starting a new life. The angel statue by the front gates has its head missing. The gardener in the back keeps a loaded shotgun. The front garden is a historic graveyard littered with the tombstones of past residents. It's in this strange new place that Emily must deal with her lingering suspicions about the fire. The police declared it arson but were unable to find the culprit, though Emily suspects her own brother. Robert Fall, a reckless man with a dark past. She may be right. Robert knows as much from the way he avoids her, holing up in his room where the door is always bolted. He's not the only one disturbed.

When they spend the first night in the new house, the Fall Family is woken up by the howl of a steam train. Emily thinks her new house is haunted. But it's worse. Far worse

[Sharon Rimmelzwaan · Rating 4 out of 5]

Ralph Burton is a brand new author for me and cover and synopsis of this book, along with the fact it is set on the Yorkshire Moors. I don't live too far away so it piqued my interest.
I think it is a well written book with characters that are well drawn and interesting. I thought the plot was original and it kept me engaged throughout. I read this book in two afternoons it had me so curious as to what was next.
I am looking forward to reading more from Ralph Burton in the future.
