It begins as a lark — a harmless diversion initiated by Washington, D.C., hostess Ruth Bennett as a means of entertaining her visiting niece, Sara. But the séance conducted in Ruth’s elegant Georgetown home calls something back; something unwelcome … and palpably evil. Suddenly Sara is speaking in a voice not her own, transformed into a miserable, whimpering creature so unlike her normal, sensible self. No tricks or talismans will dispel the malevolence that now plagues the inhabitants of this haunted place — until a dark history of treachery, lust, and violence is exposed. But the cost might well be the sanity and the lives of the living.

Where to start? I've been hearing my mom rave about how much she loved this book for ever, which in the way of such things between mothers and daughter sometimes, had the perverse effect of making me disinclined to read it. This is spite of my enjoyment of ghost stories and Barbara Michaels' othe...
I always enjoy Michaels/Peters stories. She writes really well and does a great job with setting up the atmosphere whether it's in the deserts of Egypt or an old southern historic home. This was my second time reading it and I enjoyed it just as much as the first time. The ending seemed a little ant...
This has been an ok read for me. I really liked the creepy atmosphere that Michaels has created, the story is entertaining and it´s a very fast read. Unfortunately I didn´t like the characters and I couldn´t get past the mannerism of the 1960s, especially how men treated women back then (I´m not a...
