This book was given to me as a present and as such I felt obliged to read it. The synopsis already told me that it wasn't one that I would have ordinarily picked for myself but I read it anyway. 
 Aunt Elspeth is dead and twins, Julia and Valentina, inherit her flat next to High Gate Cemetary in London with the one condition that neither of their parents can enter it. Fair enough. 
 Unfortunately, not one of the characters was really likeable and their actions didn't often make sense. On top of that, the plot (what plot?) didn't seem to be going anywhere fast with the author just taking the twins on various tours of London until the she seemed to realise that she needed more to her novel than just shopping trips and fiascos on the underground. When it did finally kick off, the plot was still bland and on top of that it was just horrible. And by horrible I mean that I was disgusted beyond words by the characters' final actions.
