There was an article in Vanity Fair a couple of years ago that I think this book is based on. The article of course was a much better read!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-41074235795464096622016-05-11T13:06:53.113-07:002016-05-11T13:06:53.113-07:00AL: There's a lot of glowing reviews out there...AL: There's a lot of glowing reviews out there for it, and while I enjoyed it quite a bit - my review isn't glowing :) Still, I totally think it's worth reading, especially if you dig Gothics. St. James does a really good job on the "Gothic stuff."<br /><br />Nath: He's JUST 80, but yes - 80. The Haunting of Maddy Clare was St. James' first book and she's published several more since then - so yeah, check your reading log; you may have read her before :)<br /><br />PK: Oh, thanks for the warning - now I'm prepared that I'm going to get more paranormal. I love Gothics with no woo-woo, but they're a rarer breed of the already rare Gothic breed. Work has her entire backlist on audio, so I've wishlist'ed the lot of them :)Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12485867264936716806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-27792968443961610552016-05-11T09:34:43.363-07:002016-05-11T09:34:43.363-07:00I've read all of Simone St James books and rea...I've read all of Simone St James books and really, really like them. Heads up though: they are all similar thematically much like Susanna Kearsley and her tropes. St James's "shtick": Post WWI setting, element of paranormal, touch of romance, a light mystery to solve. But they are gothic in nature which I also love.

Then again, didn't think he was still alive... ^_^;<br /><br />It does seem to be a nice way to get out of your comfort zone :) The Haunting of Maddy Clare sounds like the one I'd be most likely to pick up... Wait, Simone St. James, that sounds familiar! I think I've actually read her last year!nathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02626894830238717124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-50925078998014512122016-05-09T15:57:51.542-07:002016-05-09T15:57:51.542-07:00I've been dying to read The Haunting of Maddy ...I've been dying to read <i>The Haunting of Maddy Clare</i> for ages--but a) those suckers are pricey! and b) I've promised myself that I would read at least ten or so books from the TBR Mountain Range of Doom, before shelling out money on new books.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />(Mind you, if this one went on sale for two bucks or so, I'd snap it up, regardless!)aztecladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14857872357667370906noreply@blogger.com
