Books like A face at the window by Dennis McFarland
After sending their daughter to boarding school, Cookson Selway and his wife Ellen flee to London, hoping for a fresh start. The hotel that welcomes them, however, hides guests beyond the register. As they settle into their lodgings, Selway is drawn into supernatural events that illuminate the past of a young girl who died at the same hotel six decades earlier. The lingering presence of the girl’s ghost, coupled with Selway’s own prescience, blurs the line between his present and her tragic history. Ellen watches helplessly as Selway becomes increasingly absorbed in the spectral world, his marital bond fraying as the danger to those around them escalates.
