Review: Genre tough to pin -- not your typical supernatural

It's refreshing to find a gem among the free stones. I tend to download a bunch of free books all at once, then find later I have no idea what any of them were about, so just choose something at random to read.Bridge Builder starts off a bit slowly, written in old-fashioned style - heavy on description, light on action - and I began to fear if I'd wandered into another Elsie Venner.After the setup which leaves you wondering if anything is ever going to happen, you finally get a clue when the protagonist notices the statue looks different. Or is it the play of the sun?No spoilers here, but I can say the ending made the beginning worth the slog. I'm not a fan of old-fashioned prose, but I love old-fashioned stories, and this one turned out to be the delicate balance I enjoyed.
