Upon wandering the ancient ruins of Graveney Hall, Greg meets Faith. Together they both plan to uncover the secrets of the abandoned site, only to discover a diary and letters left by Graveney's last heir, Edmund. When they learn more about the young soldier who supposedly died during the First World War, the pair begin to doubt the many stories of his death. As the two reach closer and closer to the truth, they find themselves wondering how far they would go to uncover the mystery of Graveney Hall.
A story of love and faith.

I liked how The Shell House was told in two different perspectives - one in Greg's time and one in Edmund's. It's interesting to compare the two because they're both so different from each other. I also thought the storyline was original because the main character turned out to be gay (which was obvious in the blurb, but still). The only thing I would say is that the author tends to write massive, boring chunks of description. Overall, I thought this book was average, but perhaps not a must-read.
