Title: Not Just Another Haunted House
Review: Jane Hollingsworth took on a difficult task: putting a new spin on a long-standing, favorite, paranormal setting. THE HOUSE IN THE STEEPLE is eerie, unique and spellbinding, and the suspense is palpable as the reader tiptoes along with some very believable characters climbing the chilling steps to the third floor.More than just a horror story, STEEPLE touches on social issues ranging from the modern foster care system to Edwardian intolerance of alternative lifestyles in times past. Heroine Bedie Breckenridge and her eleven-year-old charge June are complex "women" on a mission; nothing stereotypical about them or any character in this intriguing first novel.At times I felt I was reading Stephen King, and that is definitely a compliment coming from this fan, a fan who cannot wait to read more from this extremely talented author.
