Despite years of neglect, the living room hearth is always spotlessly clean, like the day it was installed. Why?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis novel centres around the Reverend Paltoquet and his search for the truth. The other chief protagonist is Edith Lomax, an unhappily married doctor's wife, who resides in 57 Bockhampton Road, where the first murders take place back in 1896. This triple murder of a man and two children sets in train the series of murders that are to follow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe search for the truth, which involves another six murders by the same fireplace in the same room in the same house following on from the first murders, culminates in the present day with an exorcism that doesn't work. We discover that there are many restless spirits trapped in the house, forced to remain by the violence of their deaths, and unable to communicate with the living world until a medium helps to set them free.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReverend Paltoquet's close friend, Dorothy Plunkett, is that medium. He calls on her to help these spirits to their final rest, and this is when we learn the truth behind the murders and the real perpetrator of the crimes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTitles in the Reverend Paltoquet Mystery Series are:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Bockhampton Road Murders\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHaunted Christmas\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Possession of November Jones\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Witches of Wandsworth\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo Long at the Fair\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Man Who Was Death\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Dark Side of the Mirror\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nadir Gibin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47033259917552,"sku":"9781521208038","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781521208038_p0.jpg?v=1763729534","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781521208038","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
