LIKE LOCKED-ROOM MYSTERIES? YOU'LL LOVE TOM MEAD'S JOSEPH SPECTOR SERIES!
This gripping locked-room mystery sees Joseph Spector investigate his most sinister case yet: murderous machinations at a haunted manor house.
A former First World War field hospital, the spooky old mansion at Devil's Neck attracts spirit-seekers from far and wide.
Illusionist-turned-sleuth Joseph Spector knows the house of old. With stories spreading of a phantom soldier making mischief, he joins a party of visitors in search of the truth.
But the house, located on a lonely causeway, is quickly cut off by floods. The stranded visitors are soon being killed off one by one.
With old ally Inspector Flint working on a complex case that has links to Spector's investigation, the two men must connect the dots before Devil's Neck claims Spector himself as its next victim.

Critic Reviews
With a plot that has more twists and turns than a coiled snake, readers are in for a thrilling exercise in mental agility
I love this series. Tom Mead is a master of the locked room mystery and his series character, Joseph Spector, is one of the most compelling sleuths in crime fiction today. Tom’s latest Spector book, The House at Devil's Neck, is next level. Fast-paced but also creepy and atmospheric, it' s the work of a writer at the very top of his game.
A brilliant homage to the locked-room mysteries of the golden age, with Tom Mead bringing his own gruesome sensibility to the mix. The House at Devil's Neck is brilliantly structured, exceptionally macabre, and filled with reversals and twists. This is a wonder cabinet of a book, and Mead is a magician.
Atmospheric, intricate, and packed with clever twists and historical flair, The House at Devil’s Neck gives a unique spin on the classic locked room mystery. Tom Mead expertly blends the entertaining aspects of mediums, spiritualism, and stage performance with the haunting realities of the interwar period, all set against the backdrop of an isolated house with an eerie history of its own.
Tom Mead's books are like souffles: an apparently effortless treat quickly guzzled down by the crime enthusiast; yet something that can only be produced by the truly skillful. His latest offering is unnerving, atmospheric, and characteristically baffling.
As well as being a homage to the golden age of crime fiction, this is a smart and modern re-invention. Mead’s upwards trajectory is clearly bound to continue.
Seances, scares and sinister mansions combine in this superlative murder mystery, rooted in wartime intrigue. Ingeniously plotted, uniquely atmospheric and full of wonderfully observed period detail – I raced through it!
A dazzling, minutely plotted puzzle where nothing is initially as it seems
Mead demonstrates his customary expertise... a solidly constructed Golden Age pastiche
Sinister
Tom Mead's novels featuring ageing illusionist Joseph Spector are a reliable joy.
Will make the hairs on your arms stand up.
