A brilliant homage to the locked room mysteries of the golden age, with Tom Mead bringing his own gruesome sensibility to the mix. The House at Devil's Neck is brilliantly structured, exceptionally macabre, and filled with reversals and twists. This is a wonder cabinet of a book, and Mead is a magician., Tom Mead's books are like souffles: an apparently effortless treat quickly guzzled down by the crime enthusiast; yet something that can only be produced by the truly skillful. His latest offering is unnerving, atmospheric, and characteristically baffling., In a brief period of time British author Tom Mead has not so quietly become master of the locked-room mystery. . . . The House at Devil's Neck is another triumph for Tom Mead and this series, which is one of the cleverest in the mystery genre today., Mead piles on enough complications, red herrings, misdirections, impersonations, and period details . . . to fill a whole shelf of Golden Age puzzlers. The most confounding, mystifying, mind-boggling 24 hours most readers will ever encounter in fiction or real life., A fiendishly clever tour de force. . . . Mead artfully dials up the suspense notch by notch, keeping readers off-balance all the way through to the masterful conclusion, which again proves that he's a fastidious student of Agatha Christie and John Dickson Carr. This superlative series remains in top form., Ingenious . . . Mead hides all the clues in plain sight, constructing a fair-play puzzle that will delight and challenge readers., I love this series. Tom Mead is a master of the locked room mystery and his series character, Joseph Spector, is one of the most compelling sleuths in crime fiction today. However, that said, Tom's latest Spector book The House at Devil's Neck is next level. Fast paced but also creepy and atmospheric, Devil's Neck is the work of a writer at the very top of his game., Atmospheric, intricate, and packed with clever twists and historical flair, The House at Devil's Neck gives a unique spin on the classic locked room mystery. Tom Mead expertly blends the entertaining aspects of mediums, spiritualism, and stage performance with the haunting realities of the interwar period, all set against the backdrop of an isolated house with an eerie history of its own.

Synopsis
An apparent suicide in a London townhouse uncannily mirrors a similar incident from twenty-five years ago, prompting Scotland Yard's George Flint to delve deep into the past in search of the solution to a long-forgotten mystery. Meanwhile, Joseph Spector travels with a coach party through the rainy English countryside to visit an allegedly haunted house on a lonely island called Devil's Neck. The house, first built by a notorious alchemist and occultist, was later used as a field hospital in the First World War before falling into disrepair. The visitors hold a seance to conjure the spirit of a long-dead soldier. But when a storm floods the narrow causeway connecting Devil's Neck to the mainland, they find themselves stranded in the haunted house. Before long, the guests begin to die one by one, and it seems that the only possible culprit is the phantom soldier. Flint's and Spector's investigations are in fact closely linked, but it is only when the duo are reunited at the storm-lashed Devil's Neck that the truth is finally revealed. Tom Mead once again creates a brilliant homage to John Dickson Carr and the Golden Age of mysteries with this intricately plotted puzzle., In this latest locked room mystery from the author of Cabaret Macabre, amateur sleuth Joseph Spector pits his knowledge of stage magic against the seemingly supernatural when a seance at an isolated old hospital turns deadly.
