"Occult happenings, romantic passion, and murder disrupt the peace of a Berkshire village in 1911 in this hauntingly good novel."
â??Marie Claire (UK)

Katherine Webb's debut novel, The Legacy, was an international bestsellerâ??and her remarkable second effort, The Unseen, is as gripping, thrilling, and unforgettable as her first. In this compelling story of love, deception, obsession, and illusion, the arrival of two dangerous strangers in a small village in England in the early 1900s disrupts the quiet lives of a vicar with a fascination with spiritualism and his naĂŻve young wife, and ultimately leads to murder. The Unseen is literary suspense at its most entertaining and enthralling, truly superior fiction not unlike the captivating tales of Kate Morton and Diane Setterfield.… (meer)

A little trite. Probably only deserved two stars, but it could be the basis of a good movie. ( )

Too much information in some of the other reviews but a great book for anyone who likes historical mysteries. ( )

Numa só palavra: viciante! Este é um daqueles livros que dá vontade de virar a página e saber o que vai acontecer de seguida. Para além da acção ser passada em dois tempos diferentes (1911 e 2011), a autora mostra uma profunda sabedoria sobre o momento certo de mudança de século, deixando o leitor com vontade de saber o que se vai passar a seguir em cada um deles. Ainda não tive oportunidade de ler o outro título da autora lançado pela Asa, “A Herança”, mas já ouvi falar muito bem desse livro também. Parece que Katherine Webb tem o dom da palavra e demonstra isso muito bem através das páginas dos livros. Até ao momento final nunca consegui adivinhar o que ia acontecer, qual das personagens iria morrer. Uma morte era certa, o mais difícil era descobrir qual era! Apesar de tudo se passar num curto espaço de tempo não notei aquela velocidade no decorrer dos acontecimentos que muitas vezes nos deixa decepcionadas por não serem muito desenvolvidos, nesta historia tudo acontece com uma calma enorme e descrições feitas nas alturas certas, deixando qualquer leitor maravilhado com a história que tem na sua frente.

The story unfolds during two different periods, in 1911 and in 2011 and revolves around a vicarage and its inhabitants, past and present. The part of the book that refers to the past tells the story of a vicar, his wife, a woman servant and a visitor who is interested in natural 'spirits'. The relationships between the characters are complex and show the importance of the class system in the UK. The contemporary story is not as interesting and it focuses on the moody owner of the vicarage and a journalist interested in the past of the place. Some characters, such as Cat or the vicarage visitor are more interesting than others, but overall, they work well together. ( )
