This is the third novel about the haunted mansion Harrows and it really has some highlights that got me.
The first half of the book is an outstanding example for introducing the main characters, look into their life and why they were choosen to play their part in their book.
The plot reminds me of Shirley Jackso`s "Haunting of Hill House":
In the name of a psychic organization three persons with special abilities are invited (for money) to live in Harrow, to try to catch up if and what´s going on there.
Unfortunately in the end, when the book should be at it´s top, it lacks the scary excitement one expected.
Nevertheless it´s a good read, far better than "Mischief".

Haunted mansion became a school. Now it is empty. An obsessed woman wants to bring it back to life; a ghost hunter wants to find out what is in it. Totether they gather people they believe can get to the heart of the haunting. This is a very scary read!

This is part of the Harrow House trilogy by Douglas Clegg. I read them in order, straight through. My over all impression was... meh. Slow in places, completely extraneous in places, and a thoroughly expected and disappointing end to the series.
