I picked this book because it’s got a cool name. And the premise was alright, past and present united with a murder. A house that has ghosts, historians telling their story, and one of the characters in the present gets poisoned, as one in the past did.

But. It wasn’t good. The author has an incredibly old fashioned style. I didn’t get, or like, any of the characters. It was written in the present, but the characters all spoke and acted in ways that are not current. That doesn’t make a lot of sense, but maybe the author is older, and really old fashioned?

Not good.
