The beginning of the novel was a bit slow and quite confusing: with all the changing the narrators and dates but nevertheless, 'The Séance' does build up some suspense closer to the end of the novel.
The last hundred pages or so really had me biting my fingernails.
I just wish the previous 200 would have been as good or even nearly as good as the last hundred.
But, oh well! All in all a pretty good read nevertheless!
