About the book:
She should have brought her wind chimes in, she thought, when she heard them ringing in the first gusts of the approaching hurricane. She was sitting on the edge of the bed with her feet fishing for slippers when she remembered. She had brought the chimes in. They were hanging downstairs in her living room, where there was no wind to move them.
Quotes:
Excerpt:
The long, thick handle of the flashlight made a comforting weight when Dena's fingers gathered it in. She didn't turn it on yet, though. Her mind shrieked for a look down the hall but she didn't want to be holding the flash when it lit. That would only shout out her own location. She stepped into the closet and knelt, laying the Maglite on the hall floor. Then she switched it on and quickly stood up amid the clutter. One glimpse down the hallway made her wish she'd left things in the dark. The drip she'd heard didn't come from the rain.

| Rating 3: What is billed as a ghost story turns out to be a thriller, but a decent read never-the-less |
