Summary: A REALLY GOOD READ
Review: This is very enjoyable fiction written in the tradition of Barbara Michaels. The story has an historical setting with a suspenseful plot and the book is just long enough.Verity Grey is an archaeologist who has the opportunity to work on an ancient Roman site in Scotland. She's smart, attractive and very dedicated to her work. The project is an interesting one, and she's working with 3 other archaeologists who all have different backgrounds. A wealthy older Irishman, a deadly handsome Englishman, and the fascinating Scotsman. Of course, there is a romance which is not overdone, but portrayed with just the right touch to keep the reader interested. The story is enhanced by Robbie a young boy who lives nearby and has the second sight. The child often sees the ghost of a Roman Sentinel. Verity's trapped by her rational side as a scientist, and her desire to believe that the boy is actually seeing a ghost. I was intrigued from the first to the last page.

Summary: Much better than "Splendour Falls"
Review: This was my introduction to Susanna Kearsley. What a pleasant surprise I was not expecting the storyline to be so engrossing. I love the Romance in it as well as the Ghost, but hey I...enjoy all books that have anyone with the gift of "sight". The book did start a little slow but it definately picked up and was very suspenseful and through her writing you could easily visualize the whole "gothic" feel of the book. The Characters are real and vibrant in this book. I must say after now reading three of Ms. Kearsley's books that I do enjoy (for the most) part her play with the other characters in the book. ...

Summary: Slow but good... and a ghost!
Review: When Verity Grey is asked to Eyemouth, Scotland by an ex boyfriend for an archaeological job., she arrives at Rosehill not quite knowing what to expect. She meets her boss, Peter Quinnel, and is told he is digging for the lost Ninth Legion of Rome. Furthermore, he knows it is there because a little boy who is psychic saw a phantom sentinel in the field and has communicated with him. Skeptical, Verity has to see for herself what the little boy is capable of before she is a believer. Add to that the sound of running horses she hears every night (where there aren't any) and the sounds of somebody moving around (who isn't there) and you have the makings of a good ghost story. Verity also meets archaelogists David Fortune, who she is instantly attracted to. Let me say up front that while there is a romance, it is very much in the background. It's almost as if the author got bashful when they came together and skipped over what went on between them. If passion and explicit sex scenes are your thing, better skip this one. If you like a ghost story with a gothic feel, this book is for you.
