Oooh. This is one of those books that requires a second read. You get to the end and viola! you realize you missed a lot of clues along the way. I had to read some discussions online to get all my questions answered, and now I’m in the process of rereading. This is a mystery and a family story that takes place in Salem, Mass. Towner Whitney, the main character and the narrator for much of the book, comes back to Salem when her great-aunt disappears. In seeking the truth about Eva (the great-aunt), Towner also discovers much about her own past and her immediate family. Since this is a mystery, I can’t include any spoilers, thus I can’t say too much about the story. Trust me, it’s good. Maybe a bit slow taking off, but once into it, I had a hard time putting it down. Now that I know what happens, I’m sure the beginning would be more compelling the second time through. (fiction)
