I actually cried when I read this book. What a sad, sad story about loss and redemption. This ghost story is a good example of what one can still do with this genre. Platt and Wright are such great writers, and they seem to get better and better all of the time.This one is especially heart wrenching. Thomas Witt is a writer that has lost his daughter in a car accident. Him and his wife, Meg are trying to put their lives together, but Thomas can't seem to let go of the accident. He has been taking pictures of accidents, trying to piece together the events of the accident, with no success.Until he sees something in a photograph that chills him.There was a part of this that i saw coming, but there was another part that I had no idea about. All in all, none of that matters because the characters in this book really kept me reading. Especially the character of Thomas. My heart breaks for him throughout the book.Mr Wright and Mr. Platt, this is a great book and I like that you have this stand alone book in your catalog of books.I would recommend this book to those who like their fiction very close to the bone. This book pulls no punches and the subject matter could test the mettle of many readers. I thought it was great because it takes a delicate subject and it puts a spin on it that you would never expect.Give it a read!
