Houses of Stone

As usual Barbara Michaels has hit it out of the park, you can always count on her for spooky stuff without overdoing it. English professor Karen Holloway had found some poems from a woman in the 19th century who called herself Ismene, out of the blue several years later, a friend who runs a bookstore finds an old manuscript, when Karen finds out that the author of the manuscript is probably the same woman who wrote the poetry she found. After she buys it, she sets out to find the house which is described in the book and in the process she finds out that the house of stone mentioned in the book is actually real. Whether she is writing as Barbara Michaels or Elizabeth Peters, I will read anything she writes.
