The Other Side of Midnight

by Simone St. James

Book Overview

"No one mixes romance, mystery, and that faint, spine-tingling sense of the supernatural, that curtain lifting in a breeze that isn't there, the hair prickling on the back of your neck, like Simone St. James. Her novels are the perfect combination of classic ghost story, historical fiction, and romantic suspense."--Lauren Willig

London, 1925. Glamorous medium Gloria Sutter made her fortune helping the bereaved contact loved ones...

Really A Strong 4.5

The Other Side of Midnight is a deviation from what Simone St James usually writes because it is more about mediums and psychics than it is about ghosts, and yet, there are some ghostly appearances in it. Some reviewers felt like this was not as good as some of her other novels, but I found it to be a very entertaining read. Admittedly, some of the characters were not as likeable as characters in her other novels, but I did like Ellie and I liked how she added Scotland Yard Inspector Drew Merriken from An Inquiry Into Love and Death into this story as well. I thoroughly enjoyed The Other Side of Midnight as much as all the other Simone St James novels I have already read. She is my new favorite author.

What are psychics REALLY like?

I wonder how the author came up with this story. Great yarn with totally original plot and characters. I couldn't put it down!

Amazing!!!

This is a fantastic novel that has a hint of the paranormal, a hint of romance and a ton of mystery! LOVED IT! I can’t wait to read more from this author!

The closest writer to Mary Stewart I have found

I loved The Haunting of Maddy Clare— and this was every bit as good, in fact, I would say she is really hitting her stride here. She deftly brings to life the post war years in England, and her characters are compelling, her heroine resourceful and brave, but human. I loved the spooky supernatural side of the story—reminded me of Touch Not the Cat in the way she made you accept her world.
