This book was well written. The author seemed to know her stuff in writing a mystery. It was quite good, although it did not hold my interest from the beginning. I was about 10 chapters from the end of the book before it really captured me.

It was sort of hard to keep up with the story line because the author jumped from one scene to another scene in the middle of a chapter. She took about 30 years every so often and you relived parts of that time. She made you believe that there were ghosts in the townhouse when there was always an explanation for everything that happened.

The mice and the caretaker of the townhouse really gave the story a lot of action. It wasn’t until you got to about the last 10 chapters before you really could figure out what was going on in the townhouse. The author revealed murders, drugs, kidnapping, and the reasons for it all. She had you believing that the killer was one person although when that one person died, you were left with "Now who is the killer?" A lot of the clues she revealed were not the clues for the actual killer. It wasn’t until the last few chapters when you really found out who and what was happening at the townhouse.

The way this book ends gives the impression that it maybe the first of a series of books. At least that is what I hope for because either that or she killed off the main character without anyone knowing it.
