Creepy, creepy, creepy! An incredible psychological thriller that had me on the edge of my seat. A diverse group of people, including a photographer, a judge, an insurance man, and others all are neighbors in an exclusive apartment complex known as Nazarille. When old Mr. Roscommon starts seeing "something" moving in the windows of an unoccupied apartment, neighbors write it off as dementia. And when teenaged Amy starts to agree with him, her father tells her it isn't possible. However, they both know what they've seen, and it appears to be the ruins of human beings who were once incarcerated there... Amy begins to research the history of the building, while her father slowly disintegrates into the madness that living in what was previously known as Nazareth Hill has brought upon him.

Initially this book was difficult to read because it has British words and phrases that are unfamiliar, as in "wireless" for radio, and others. But once a reader learns what is meant, it smooths out and moves along well. D. (gardngal)
