Valley of Hemlock

Rating:
Summary: Gave me goosebumps!
Review: I grew up reading Victoria Holt and Daphne DuMaurier. Though more contemporary in style, Valley of Hemlock is very reminiscent of these classic authors. The story is about writer Meredith Barlow and her quest for a quiet retreat to pen the perfect story. The retreat becomes an adventure itself as a mystery about the house and its owners unfolds. Boothe House it seems holds many disturbing secrets behind its walls.

Ms. Reed knows how to write "dark and creepy". She takes you in and holds you captive with every bump and creak. A touch of romance, a dollop of humor and a great mystery to boot!

Review: I was held captive from the time I opened the book until the suspenseful end! A new author that is worth reading. With a distinctive voice the Valley of Hemlock richly portrays a classic mystery at it's best. Unique characters, surprising twists abound. I would highly recommend this book as a quiet weekend retreat.

Summary: Valley of the Gothic Doll
Review: this is my first sorrey into the chasm of gothic prose and not my last because of Ms. Reed. A great read for those that try and fail at second-guessing the authors romantic path of mystery. Plush prose mixed with scintillating romantic intrigue and a setting of equally refined goth-aesthetic taste. strong characterization makes for a multi-layered and addictive experience. Thank you Eden.
