Helpful Score: 1
THE WINTER PEOPLE was the October 2014 pick in my online book club, The Reading Coveand I'm happy to say I really enjoyed this book!
The story is richly layered and complex, with a spooky and creepy tone that carries you through with the mystery of what the heck's going on in this little Vermont town! It shifts back and forth between the events of the early 1900s and how they echo right into the narrative of the present-day characters.
I could hardly put the book down in the last 100 or so pages, needing to find out exactly what had happened and where things were going. And it was awesome that it was in no way predictable.
If you like ghost stories with a strong foundation in the real world, and a healthy dose of supernatural thriller (and even if it's not generally your cuppa), I think you'll enjoy THE WINTER PEOPLE. It's creepysomething I tend to shy away frombut it was mild enough to enhance the mystery without being excessive.
I give it a B+ and will certainly read more from this author!
