Summary:
Gabe Caleigh lives in London with his wife Eve and their three children Loren, Cameron, and Cally. Cameron goes lost one day at a playground when Eve falls asleep for a few seconds and he simply vanishes. Gabe is given a temporary job on the seaside eleven months later. Concerned for his wife's well-being, he recommends that the entire family benefit from relocating during the anniversary time.
They encounter Percy Judd, who worked at Crickley Hall during the war and is worried for their children when they arrive. They begin to settle in, but weird things begin to occur in the house soon after. They hear noises, Cally swears she was struck by a guy with a cane, and their dog flees in panic. For the first time in a year, Eve hears her missing son's voice in the house. He claims to be alive and that the children will be able to tell her where he is. Gabe wants them all to go when Loren has a terrifyingly real nightmare in which she is beaten by the guy with the cane, but Eve can't stomach abandoning her son.
Hollow Bay in The Secret Of Crickley Hall is based on Lynmouth in Devon's Exmoor National Park; Devil's Cleave is the East Lyn Valley, and Watersmeet is Watersmeet. The novel weaves together two stories: child refugees during WWII and the devastating floods that hit Lynmouth in 1952.
