Typically easy-to-read story which in the end isn't all that sensible but still a pleasant diversion for a few hours.
STRANGE BUT IT HELD ME SPELL BOUND
super spooky suspense set in the deep south-written by a master of the form
I love Elizabeth Peters. This is not one of her best, but it is still a fun read.
There might be worse fates than spending a few months at Idlewood, Laurie thought as the Chicago winter howled around her. Certainly her Aunt Ida's invitation was well intentioned, and she couldn't really have meant what she said: "I have nothing of which to complain, considering my age. I only hope I will be taken before my mind fails. Fairies in the woods, indeed!" But when Laurie and her brother Doug arrive at the family home in the Maryland countryside, they discover that Aunt Ida may have reason to fear ... and that something is indeed in the woods.
Vintage Peters, well worth the read.
