Sarah Harrison, The Next Room (Severn House, 2005)
Generic, under-plotted mystery that's long on Lifetime Original Movie material and short on thrills. Fiona (mum) and Hannah (daughter) are finally letting go of Fiona's failed relationship with Hannah's father and getting a new place. New place, however, seems as if it may be haunted by the ghost of a child Fiona keeps seeing in various places. It is true that the red herrings here work, but only because the solution is so ludicrous you can't really imagine anyone but Tori Spelling playing Fiona when the Lifetime Original Movie version comes out (which is almost inevitable). Some decent characters, but pretty much everything else about this one says avoid. **
