I really enjoyed this book. There was something about it that just sucked me right in. A great guilty pleasure that actually makes you think (a bit, but not too much). I would definitely bill it a Valentine to Reading. If one is a reader, they will be nodding their heads furiously through the sections the protagonists talks about her love for reading in general.

Also, I should note this would make for a good book club selection because it provided for a thoughtful discussion on many different fronts.

I'm not a big fan of mysteries, but I looooved this book. It kept me guessing and wondering!

I'm so happy to see this review -- I read it a month or so ago, and really enjoyed it. I think it is a perfect book for a winter's evening or weekend.

I loved this book also!! It reminded me a little of "Great Expectations" and "Shadow of the Wind."

I'm not a big fan of these long extended reviews.

This was one of those books bought on the cheap through Doubleday and I'm glad I got it, although I had difficulty following it when I read it. However, my local library happened to have a brand spankin' new copy on audio and I scooped it right up. Liked it so much I had to share it with several coworkers and kept renewing it since nobody seemed to realize it was available in that form. I thought it was just an eerie mystery too-nothing ghostly about it.
