A very enjoyable haunted house tale that gets it's foundation from a family curse--until I got to the ending where it all kinda falls flat. A disappointment, really, since it has all the components that appeal to me: hauntings, psychic abilities, family trees and their mystery members. It even has buried treasure! For me, the story was all about Hattie and her tragic end (and those of her descendants); everyone else was secondary. Still, those other characters are interesting; young motherless Olive and her grieving father; city folks Helen and Nate who decide to build their own home in the country and inadvertently stir up Hattie's spirit. There are a few unanswered questions left hanging by the end, however. For the most part, it's such a riveting read, but the ending simply doesn't do it justice. 3.5 stars.
