The silence - Sarah Rayne

Antiques dealer Nell West is valuing the contents of her late husband
Brad's childhood home, Stilter House. Set on the remote Derbyshire
Peaks, there was once a much older property there, in which the
notorious Isobel Acton committed a vicious crime.

Warned against
visiting the house by an elderly aunt of Brad's, Nell hears mysterious
piano music soon after her arrival. It becomes clear that the music is
tangled with Isobel Acton's macabre fate more than a hundred years
earlier. A fate whose consequences still menace the present.
