Review title: Ghastly
Product review: I loved Carol Goodman's first books, particularly The Lake of Dead Languages and The Seduction of Water. I rushed out to buy this one in hardbound and i want my money back. She tries hard to get into new territory and meanders into ghost appearances, sculptures' spirits, and the like, and finds herself out of her depth. That plus the lack of development of her protagonist (and yes, a side character's bad poetry thrown in for good measure) reduced me to skipping pages and trying hard to keep awake. What a disappointment. I hope she goes back to what works or she will lose her readers.
