prob the "worst" of the roger longrigg stuff i've read thus far -- which, there are worse things to be: as w/ any of his you've got finely observed mannerisms, gorgeous details of landscape & season, elegant lil windows into personality (a phlegmatic husband & his witchy wife are not the tortoise & the hare, they're "the tortoise and the hummingbird")... where we run into trouble is that practically the whole thing is told in summary rather than scene, putting the reader at arm's length from the goings-on, no matter how gnarly. in short: does nothing that mother love didn't do better.

So I only read this because I'm a Gemini...

I'd give it two and a half stars. It was well enough written but I thought it was fairly slow moving. The "evil kids" thing has also been done to death, though this one is an old book, when maybe the subgenre was newer.

Another book i picked up in breakroom at work. It reminded me a little of Rebecca by DeMaurier- only not as good. Setting is English country estate, and there is evil afoot, but takes forever to build up to it with its understated style. Still, being a huge anglophile, I thought it was ok.

Cheesy creepy horror.

Didn't really care much for this one. The evil twins and all that--I read it only because I'm a Gemini myself, but found it a bit dark for my tastes.

Bought this at a book sale. The first half of this book was so boring I skimmed through it. Basically don't get in the way of what the twins fancy or else you will end up six feet under.

This was another Domini Taylor book I just couldn't get into. It was an okay story but not what I expected. I love Teacher's Pet by the same author, however this did not live up to my expectations.
