The Haunting of Alma Fielding: A True Ghost Story by Kate SummerscaleMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
A little dry and not really a "ghost story" as such, more of a study on the parapsychologist Nandor Fodor from the early 20th Century and his complex investigation into Alma Fielding.
I found the book worked best as a unique lens to look at an interesting period in history, with a country suffering from the long dark shadow of death from the Great War and the 1918 Influenza Pandemic with a new war on the horizon alongside recent advances in Technology, Science and Psychoanalysis but still interested in the supernatural world.
Listened to as an audiobook which was well narrated by David Morrissey.
