Phoebe's Paper Paradise

I was positively surprised about how chilly and ghostly the atmosphere was while reading. Susan Hill has created a really likeable first-person-narrator with Arthur Kipps. Arthur is a solicitor who has to travel to a remote location in England to deal with the last paper-work of a recently deceased old woman. Already on arriving in the remote town Arthur finds the people's reaction to his business rather strange. And things turn quite turmoil and exciting when not only a ghostly figure appears to him during the funeral, but when he finally sets foot on the even more remote land his client had lived on. Strange happenings occur and Arthur has to decide how much action he can take...
