You can feel the suspense the whole way through. The couple become locked in a desperate bid to uncover what connects Crickley Hall to their lost boy, as time shifts between the present day and 1943 when orphaned children from London were evacuated to the creepy house. Then, just as the Caleighs are ready to move out, Eve hears her missing son. In the midst of it all, a frenzied spectre wields a cane. The house they move to is Crickley Hall and soon cellar doors creak open of their own accord, unseen children are heard crying in the night and water seeps through impervious rock. On the anniversary of his disappearance, Gabe suggests the couple and their two daughters leave London and move to Devon to try and escape the past. It tells the story of Eve and Gabe Caleigh, whose five-year-old son mysteriously vanishes. I actually thought the book was unfilmable because the story was complicated and revolves around the Second World War, yet is simultaneously set in the present day. When my agent emailed me to say the BBC were interested in adapting my bestselling novel The Secret Of Crickley Hall into a TV mini-series, I was initially sceptical.
