Never Look Back

by Robert Ross

At The Edge Of Town. . .Karen Donovan no sooner marries bestselling novelist Philip Kaye when he leaves on a book tour, abandoning her at his Provincetown mansion with his sullen teenage daughter. Black-clad Jessie Kaye isn't exactly good When she's not skulking around, she's locked in her room writing in her journal, and her strangeness is a topic of local gossip. . .In The House On The Bluff. . . As autumn sets in, Karen befriends flamboyant local celebrity Bobbie Noble. But their plans to renovate Philip's house are sidetracked when Karen stumbles upon the diary of accused axe-murderess Lettie Hatch. It describes Lettie's boorish father and young, ambitious stepmother--both of whom would fall victim to a crazed killer. And the more Karen reads, the more she's convinced that Jessie, with her increasingly bizarre behavior, is channeling something sinister. . . Something Wicked Waits. When Philip returns, he's in no mood to entertain the theories that have grown into a nerve-jangling obsession for Karen. Now, as a bitter winter binds the Cape in snow and ice, Karen feels a presence taking over. It knows what happened here nearly a hundred years before. And it won't stop until history is rewritten--in blood.

Ghosts, the supernatural, circle of time, psychos, shadowing, echoes of the past. . . .Well, I'm afraid of things around us that I'm not able to see. Now I know that suspense stories are really my thing. With the line "Past repeating itself", I guess it would be an adventure. Would you like something tragic to happen again or you'll do as Jessie Kaye did in the story?


It's a GOOD READ.

A very enjoyable read, but the ending was slightly cheesy. It tied up all of the loose ends, but something about it didn't sit right with me. Overall, a good story, though.

This was a pretty good book~a different spin on the Lettie Hatch murders i.e. Lizzie Bordon. It was a good read but I feel he drug it out to long.

Don't really read mysteries, they all seem to be very similar. And this one was no different.
