This was one of my favorite recent reads. From the very beginning I didn't want to put the book down - a perfect mix of archeology, history, ghosts, and a little bit of a love story. I didn't see the twist at the end (and wasn't even waiting for a twist at that point, though in hindsight I suppose I should have seen it coming as the hints were there), and it provided a great close to the whole book. I think I can say I am a Susanna Kersley fan now.
