I enjoyed
this story, which is told four times and remains ambiguous at its end. I appreciate that Phillips leaves it for the reader to decide whether there really was a ghost, whether Joseph Barton is cruel, Anne a con woman, or Constance hysterical, or a little of all. The story did not hang together quite as well as
The Tragedy of Arthur or
The Egyptologist, but it certainly leaves the reader with something to think about.
