Maud Drennan - underpaid carer and unintentional psychic - is the latest in a long line of dogsbodies for the ancient, belligerent Cathal Flood. Yet despite her best efforts, Maud is drawn into the mysteries concealed in his filthy, once-grand home. She realises that Cathal, and the junk-filled rooms, are opening up to her. With only her landlady and a troop of sarcastic ghostly saints to help, Maud must uncover what lies beneath Cathal's decades-old hostility, and the strange activities of the house itself.

I'm a fan of the author and really enjoyed The Hoarder. This is well-written, gripping and engaging read. The book is quite dark at times but this subject matter is handled with humour and a light touch. The book starts off simply enough with Maud becoming the latest carer for a cantankerous old man and gets quite dark as she resolves to solve a sinister mystery. I also really liked the narration.
