Multiple storylines collide and interweave in this book centered around a haunted old sanatorium and tuberculosis facility known as Monterey Cliffs. There is no one protagonist or story in this narrative, though all the stories relate and inform each other and many of the characters are biologically related. What holds the book together is the mystery and even character of the facility itself.

While I wasn't that impressed with chapter one, this book gradually grew on me. The dialogue definitely felt very exposition heavy and unnatural, but once I started imagining it as an old-time radio drama, it really took off for me. If you've ever enjoyed spooky old-time radio shows, you're in for a treat. It's a bit like that but with more depth and development.

A freaking awesome ghost story!

This book is certain to have readers turning pages. The beginning, alone, has this innate interweave of complex ghost stories that converge onto a murder mystery. And when the pieces begin to fit together, it becomes an awesome intense ride into dark and selfish intentions that never die, versus a dangerous gambit for both truth and freedom! Barbara Woster, I applaud your excellent ghost story telling! And that is coming from a guy who loved to scare his sister and her friends with scary stories told over the light of a single candle in the darkness of a creepy basement.

Dark and twisted

This is a dark, twisted mystery that finally, halfway through gets to the theme of a young heiress investigating a haunted former sanitarium to find out the truth of her aunt's diaperance many years before. It is wordy but well written and definitely disturbing if that's what scares you. I think the first half was mostly confusing and would have been better scattered in amongst the investigation.

A Paranormal story spanning decades? Count me in!

I couldn't putit down, I didn't want this one to end.

4 1/2 stars, really, only because at times I felt different language could've been used. But that's just me being nitpicky!
