review 1: How a murder resignates in a home and subsequently effected a home buyer decades later is an intriguing idea, especially since our homes are our source of comfort and pride. Valerie Laken develops this idea into a story filled with rich characters and simple, but life altering events. I could certainly identify with Kate, who in her late twenties shrugs off society's expecations, and becomes her own person filled with uncertainty, but moral strength. [return]While this novel is not steeped in suspense, it moves along rather fast and is certainily engaging.
review 2: After I finished the last page of the book and closed it....I forgot about it. Yes, it's sort of a sad story, and what not, but I just think it was OK. The main character seemed too uptight for ... moremy tatse. I actually felt bad for her husband. Maybe I misinterpreted the story, but I think Walker Price was guilty of the crime, were it a crime of passion or not, he still did it. He paid his debt, was let free and tried to convince everyone that he did it for a right reason. I don't but it. But overall this book is forgettable, and although I enjoyed it I just expected a little more. less
