Summary: The odd book out
Review: Generally I'm not a huge fan of the books MacLeod writes as Alisa Craig -- the tongue-in-cheek cutesy melodrama is just a little *too* cozy for my tastes. Tbis book is different from those in her "Grub and Stakers" and "Janet Rhys" series, though -- it's a straightahead 1970's-Barbara-Michaels-style modern gothic, with a spunky-but-injured young heroine stranded in a dusty old heap of a house with two old ladies, ghostly noises in the night, and various threatening characters wandering in and out. If you like that kind of thing (and I do) it's a good read, although you will easily guess every "shocking plot twist" miles ahead of its revelation. I wish she'd write more like this one . . .
