I have a reader friend in another part of the state who I don't see often enough, but who I saw this past weekend.
He reads a lot but only recommends the very best of the bunch. This one came out a year ago, Jody says it's not to be missed and still strikes him as the best book of the year.
It's a page turner that's part historical novel, part ghost story and all a tour de force for the author.
I read a couple of pages of reader reviews. People either reallllly like it or realllly do not like it.
Do as you choose and let us know what you thought. I may give it a try.
