Robert Fallon is hired to survey London's old Tarleton Music Hall, which has been closed since 1914. Fascinated by the building's mysterious history, he discovers with researcher Hilary Bryant that the hall is rumored to be haunted. A century ago, Toby Chance, a successful actor, vanished, and the Tarleton was promptly shut down. The two tales eventually intertwine as unresolved troubles from the past begin to threaten the present. Verdict Rayne (A Dark Dividing), "England's Dark Lady of Crime Fiction," offers an engaging plot for fans of suspense and ghost tales, but she bogs down her intriguing story with too many extraneous details. Still, fans of Christopher Fowler's London mysteries might enjoy.-Linda Oliver, MLIS, Colorado Springs (c) Copyright 2012. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
