Customer Reviews

One of my favorites!

I have to agree with the other reviewer. I read this book when it was first published. It was wonderful. I have been looking for Rice's next book ever since. I loved Bag of Bones and all the recent Sharyn McCrumb books (not the Elizabeth McPherson's). If you like your Southern Fiction with a dose of the supernatural, you will love this book!

READ THIS BOOK IF YOU LOVE INTELLIGENT MYSTERIES!

I read this rather obscure book about two or three years ago, quite by accident. I was looking for a copy of an Anne Rice book for a friend and stumbled across this novel- something about the title and the cover art made me pick it up and look it over. I love mysteries and so I decided to buy it, although I was unfamiliar with the author. This is not an easy book to find in your local bookstores, so you may have to check it out of a library. BUT DO IT! This is more than a mystery book- the writing is intelligent, the characters are interesting, and the style of the writing just flows....I couldn't put this book down for very long! I can't praise this book enough- any fans of Ruth Rendell or Sharyn McCrumb would likely fall in love with this story as I did. The only problem is- the author hasn't yet written her second novel
