My first Gayle Wilson book . . .

The writing was excellent and the plot was great. Blythe, a young widow, returns to her hometown to raise her 4 year old daughter, Maddie. The safety and comfort of home is short lived when unexplained happenings strike home. Blythe is reminded of a 20 year old murder of a young girl that has remained unsolved. Is the ghost of that young girl using Maddie as means to uncovering her killer? Blythe and the handsome sheriff work together to solve the mystery and protect young Maddie.

Now, if I liked the book so much, why 3 stars? Well, Blythe does some pretty stupid things that just irritated me at every turn. If you are a fan of the Walking Dead you will understand my claim that Blythe watches Maddie like Laurie watches Carl. Both of them gals need kicked in the rear. This fact isn't enough to turn me off this author.
