Helpful Score: 1
Chapters alternate between 1780s Williamsburg, VA, and modern Williamsburg. Sleuth Pat can sense the (1780s) ghosts in the (modern) house, seeing/feeling parts of their lives.
Pat's sweetheart, Hugh, has many brothers, with similar names. I had a little trouble keeping them straight.The 1780s characters also were a little confusing at times.
Interesting twists at the end, revealing who poisoned whom and why, in both eras. Extensive detail about historical Christmas dinner food and traditions.
400+ pages but a fast read. Could have eliminated a few subplots without harming the story, but these may be part of future story arcs.
