This review is from: The reluctant medium (Hardcover)

Davies' writing style is pleasant and this is an easy read.

The plot revolves around a David Conway, a young industrial consultant who is drawn into a mystery by a former client. The client's household has been experiencing some ghostly phenomena, and David is brought in to debunk the whole thing. But as he gets deeper into the haunting and its reason, David isn't so sure there is anything to debunk. But there is an obvious living villain at work also, as the deaths of people involved in the case start to mount.

Written in the 1960's, the book fits the mold of the Golden Age mystery, and is worth seeking out, with a nice twist at the end that sort of explains a lot of things I was puzzled about when I decided who was behind the dastardly goings-on.
