When a plot of land is being developed in Vermont against the will of a local Native American tribe, strange things begin to happen - and Ross Wakeman, a paranormal investigator, is asked to get involved. He's a desperate drifter who's taken up ghost hunting in an effort to cross paths again with his fiancee, who died in a car crash eight years ago, but he has yet to experience anything even remotely paranormal. Then Ross meets Lia . . . As a seventy-year-old murder case is reopened, a shocking secret about a crime of passion long past is revealed.

Review
'From beginning to end the story is full of surprises and gives both reader and reading group a great deal to think about.' (newbooks magazine)
Jodi Picoult's novels often focus on lives turned upside down by some terrible event, and it's her way with the small emotional detail that makes them so rewarding (Marie Claire)
Picoult fans will not be disappointed. There is the usual compulsive writing, the insight into family and colourful characterisation . . . a pleasure to pick up, and impossible to put down (Daily Express)
Another fascinating and engrossing read by Picoult (Closer)
This is another cracker from Picoult (Family Circle)

By T. Andrews
Format:Paperback
Picoults says in the notes of the book that this is her favourite book so far & I have to say I agree - This book is a huge leap away from Picoults usual scenario of family/court drama, which I have always enjoyed, but this is by far her best.
The story centers around 1 guy who after losing the love of his life in a car accident spends time searching for her ghost, he goes on a journey of personal discovery & somehow his life becomes entangled with Lia - a woman who died in 1932.
Part of the story is told from Lias point of view & that part is particularly interesting. I certainly did not find it difficult to get into, confusing, or difficult to understand the eugenetics as other have mentioned. It was a fantastic & interesting read. A must read for all Picoult fans.

Typical of Jodi Picoult, she tackles difficult issues in this book. however, if you are buying the Kindle version, beware that formatting issues make it seem disjointed and hard to follow in places~ particularly at the beginning, when varous new characters are introduced and the scene is set.

I got this book in the States last year and absolutely loved it. Some other reviewers have complained of predictability in Jodi Picout's novels but this felt quite different with the theme of transcending time & less of a focus around a big court case. However, a word of warning - the book is divided into 3 sections and the first section proves quite difficult to get to grips with but do perservere because by the second section, everything starts falling into place and all the characters who seemed quite random start becoming inter-related. The book leaves you with a very warm feeling & is definitely recommended if you have enjoyed Jodi Picoult's other books.

Definitely not Picoults best work, it doesn't flow, the characters never seem to really get going, and I found the whole story to be VERY far-fetched, not like Picoults other books... Read more

Rip-off Kindle formatting!
I love Picoult's books, even the not-so-good ones, so I'm so glad that, unusually for me when it comes to this writer, I read the reviews first. Read more
