I loved this book! It had everything a good mystery needs--a dark and stormy night, fog and mists, an abandoned lighthouse along a jagged Maine coast, and ghosts. Throw in some run runners, drug dealers, a hateful cop, and a little romance and you have a story that kept me reading late into the night. In fact I read the book in one sitting, something I did not do even with the latest James Patterson novel. I liked the heroine, Blake Cartwright, a New York lawyer who left it all behind to purchase sight unseen an abandoned lighthouse and keeper's house in Maine so she can open an inn. When she literally runs into our hero in the dark inside her new house she reacted a lot calmer than I would have. It seems that he is a restorer of old houses and she hires him on the spot to fix the mess she has just purchased. A little improbable perhaps, but it worked. He tells her about the ghost the realtor failed to mention, so of course she sees it immediately. The book was somewhat predictable but I liked the characters enough to keep reading to find out what happened to them next. If you want a nice romantic suspense novel to enjoy without pondering hidden meanings and deeper life lessons this is the book for you. I was highly entertained and loved the characters. It would make a great movie.… (mere)
