Houses of Stone by Barbara Michaels


Started: 12/10/06
Finished: 12/12/06
Year: 1993
Genre: Suspense
Grade: C
Reason for reading: grabbed it off the TBR shelf
Blurb (from back cover): "It was a career-making discovery for English professor Karen Holloway: a battered, faded manuscript, the lost masterpiece of a 19th-century poet called Ismene. Almost obessively, Karen delves into her research to unmask the woman behind the mysterious name. But the clues she seeks are hidden in the poet's own words-as a ghost story unfolds before her, a tormented voice from the past..."
Opinion: great concept and overall nicely done. Wish that it had focused more on the mysterious going-ons at the place where Karen was doing her research.
