Thomas F. (hardtack) - , reviewed on 5/4/2014 + 2569 more book reviews

While I still enjoyed reading this book, it was not as much of a 'mystery' as others in this series have been. I pretty much knew why the village had such a 'dark feeling' for Maisie even before reaching the middle of the book.

The story reminded me of the Spencer Tracy movie "Bad Day at Black Rock." If you intend to read this book, do not look at any plot outlines for the 1955 movie.

Some other aspects of the book were semi-obvious too. The only 'real shocker' was a minor point at the end of the book.

And as for the reintroduction of James Compton, I have a pretty good idea why he is now back in the story line.
