review 1: This was a really fun read. Was it great work of literature? No, but sometimes you just want a fun little romp and this certainly delivered. With an air of the slightly gothic (i.e lots of atmosphere, little actual horror), this story centers around a newly divorced American whose son has inherited a vast and somewhat creepy estate in England. As he is still a minor, she is now the regent of the estate. Sara can be a bit of a twit (giggling madly about her new gentleman friend), but overall she’s a sensible woman who deals with things going bump in the night almost too rationally. Some of the other characters are a bit flimsily sketched (Sara’s best friend among them), but this is a plot rather than character-driven work. Fun read, some interesting elements about ... morethe responsibility of the aristocracy to enhance the lives of “their people”, and some fun spooky elements. The central conspiracy fell a bit short, but it didn’t detract from the overall enjoyability of the work.
review 2: This was, overall, a very good book. While some of the supporting characters were a bit annoying, there was a great storyline and just the right amount of creepiness. Although, I'm confused as to how some readers still don't understand what the "Nine" refers to. I thought the writer did a great job of letting you know what they were without having to completely spell it out. And really, it doesn't matter if the Nine aren't all listed by name, the main character didn't actually know everyone in town, so it wouldn't have mattered anyway. The author only noted the names of the people she actually knew. less
