Al C. (vavoice) - reviewed on 6/7/2012 + 158 more book reviews

This one is much darker than the first three novels in this series. Rather than crusading about the countryside, Garrett is committed to a classic haunted mansion where he is retained--by a former fellow Marine who he owed, big time--to find who, or what is killing retired General Stantnor.

As in his previous adventures, Garrett soon finds himself in way over his head.

I found the atmosphere more somber in this novel. Garrett seems to trudge along with the weight of the world on his shoulders. Even the lighter moments seem to be toned down. I found this story to be closer to the horror genre than the dark fantasy. But it still held my interest as it showed even a successful case doesn't have to end happily.
