Summary

David Warwick, an Englishman living in New York, has a sudden premonition that his twin brother, Colin, is in danger. He returns to England and learns the shocking truth: both Colin and his young bride Helen have died ghastly deaths - deaths that no one in the village wants to talk about.

Now David has inherited his brother's home, Gerrard's Hill Cottage, a lovely house with a lush garden that seems to promise peace and comfort to all who dwell there. But as David tries to unearth the facts of what really happened to his brother and his wife, he has no idea of the horror and evil that surround him or the terrible fate that may be in store.

A chilling story that builds slowly and inexorably towards its shocking climax, Bernard Taylor's Sweetheart, Sweetheart (1977) has been recognized as one of the finest horror novels ever written. This edition features a new introduction by Michael Rowe.

Critic reviews

"Ingenious and well-crafted - a most satisfying chiller!" ( Grand Rapids Press)
"A slow-burning, invisibly seductive ghost story." ( Kirkus Reviews)

Feuding Families

A twin suddenly feels heartbreaking pain and fears his brother may have been in an accident. Arriving back home in England he discovers his brother's death and tries to get some answers from the local villagers. Everyone is very distant and refuses to give him a straight answer. Quite long, but ok.

Repetitive and boring

The start wasn't too bad, American bloke inherits perfect English country cottage that has odd characters and some spooky goings on to investigate. Sadly the story quickly stalls. The middle of the book is largely the main character... whose name I have already forgotten ... asking himself endless questions ...on an on and on so I just skipped forwards in huge chunks only to find him still going on and on asking the same questions and still no further forward with the plot. I gave up as I lost the will to live and couldn't give a toss if there was a ghost or a real person out to get him. Returned fior refund.
