Susan Davies is a successful executive
married to her 'bit of rough' - Jack the
local garage mechanic. But now Jack is fed
up of being the 'kept man'. He'd like to
break with Susan, but he doesn't want to
lose the lifestyle … or his mistress, Margaret.
Then, Susan has a fatal 'accident' in her
newly repaired car.
Susan doesn't take well to being a ghost.
She has to share a cold graveyard with the
loud-mouthed Alice (who was burned as a
witch in 1647) and the prim miss, Harriett
(stabbed to death, 1884). She hates being
kept prisoner by some invisible barrier
that, apparently, the three of them cannot
pass through. And why won't Alice and Harriet
accept that the car crash was just an accident?
The trouble is that if Susan can't be 'reconciled'
to her murder soon, she will be dragged
off to spend the rest of eternity in the
Sea of Lost Souls, something that both Alice
and Harriett fear more than anything. They
must convince Susan that she was murdered
before the 'things' come to take her away.
The proof lies beyond the graveyard and
they are unable to get to it until Alice
confesses she has found a way round the
barrier, a way to visit the living and hear
their conversations. Can she take Susan
there to listen to Jack's confession?
Fates Thread is a ghost story. It's a murder
mystery, and a light comedy. It's a race
against time to save a soul. |
