A good antohology of short horror stories, it features some author I love (Ramsey Campbell,Seanan McGuire) and some new to me.
There's a sort of fil rouge which is the sense of loss but any story is original and well done.
i discovered some new author and thoroughly enjoyed the other stories.
Highly recommended.

I like this series as it's a lot of fun and the ghosts are very entertaining. Solid mystery that kept me guessing and well plotted.
I think there's a lot of potential even if I'm not a huge fan of the MC at the moment as I found her a bit flat.

There's a lot to love in this book and there's an intriguing and well written story full of pathos and drama. The world of ballet dancer, NY in the 80s, AIDS, family drama.
I loved the style of writing and the storytelling.

It’s not easy write something original after having read and reviewed 12 books unless you want to analyze the specific plot. Each book in this series is better than the previous and all are very entertaining and well plotted.
This is no exception and I liked it even if I missed Hugh and the lady of Henley Hall.
The Irish setting is interesting and the different type of characters, liked the doctor or the abbess, make us discover new sides of the investigating couple. Eleanor and Clifford are at their best in this unusual and troubled place. A place full of secrets and where people do not seem to be ready to gossip or reveal anything.
Gladstone is as lovely as usual and I have great expectations for Tomkin the cat.
It’s an unusual, gripping, solid, and complex mystery I read in one afternoon. I thoroughly enjoyed it and it’s highly recommended.

3.5 upped to 4
The Thirty-One Doors is a mix of Golden Age tropes with some gothic novel tropes. It's a slow burning and gripping novel featuring complex characters and an intriguing setting.
There're secrets, murders, an isolated mansion with plenty of very modern features and a trouble investigators.
It's not an action packed or fast paced story, it's one that ask you to concentrate on the puzzle and follows the clues.
I found it a bit too slow at the beginning and some parts requires a bit of suspension of belief. Once I was involved in the story I enjoyed it and try to identify the clues and solve the puzzle.
There's plenty of potential and i would be curious to read the next mystery by this author.
