Nostalgic, supernatural comedy set in the '90s
Springtime, 1994. Grunge. The Kremlin Accords. Cool Britannia is on the way! For Gary Stone, Rookstone Castle is just another restoration project, until its owner shows him a sixty-year-old photograph that cannot be.
Unsettled, he gets to work, but is soon terrorised at 02:17 each morning by an ancient spirit with an urgent message. Failing to understand her warning, his team become unwitting accessories to a jewel heist. As the man in charge, Gary struggles to see how things could get any worse – which only illustrates the limits of his imagination.
Besieged by the police and the media outside, hostage to dangerous criminals inside, the hangry builders are trapped in a castle full of ghosts with a psychopath and a Jack Russell named Poppy...
and they are running out of sandwiches.
The first novel in Stephen Llewelyn's new 'For Keeps' paranormal series. 'Rookstone' is full of 1990s nostalgia, a supernatural fantasy treat with all the ingredients of a ghost cozy mystery alongside scary thriller and crime thriller moments. Llewelyn's penchant for comedy mystery lends itself perfectly to this new ghost novel, providing lashings of scares and drama, balanced by plenty of paranormal comedy. A classic haunted castle ghost story entwined with the humorous misfortunes of a band of unruly builders out of their depth.
