This HaBO request is from Jess, who is looking for a romance that may have paranormal elements:
I read this as an ebook once from my library, and wanted to read other books from the same author. But now can’t find it for the life of me!
It’s one of those stories that’s told from multiple perspectives at different points in history. A woman inherits something or other and goes to England. The main plot revolves around an abandoned prison that used to have executions.
The main love interest is a journalist who was blinded while in the Middle East. His friend is a paranormal investigator who wants him to stay in the prison overnight to see if he senses anything odd.
Okay, we have probably parallel perspectives, a paranormal investigator, and a creepy prison. Can we solve this one?
I want someone to solve this so I can read it!
It sounds like Susanna Kearsley, but I haven’t read her. Does that help anyone else?
I don’t think it’s a Susanna Kearsely. I’ve read almost everything she’s written, and I don’t think this is one of them.
Nope, not Kearsley. I thought it might be by Barbara Erskine, but none of her older titles features a prison or a blind journalist. I do hope someone knows the answer, because it sounds like my catnip.
Oh, how I want to read this one. I love the paranormal. Sure wish I knew.
Please solve – I want to read it, too!
I don’t think this is the author, but you might like Simone St. James if you iike the sound of this book.
I want to read this so much! So I started putting search terms into Google…could it be The Death Chamber by Sarah Rayne?

Alas, Death Chamber is not in ebook.
Actually, it looks like the book was reissued so an ebook is available https://www.amazon.com/Death-Chamber-Felony-Mayhem-Mystery/dp/1631940503
I was looking over the goodreads reviews and it seems like a match to me
