I have to admit I am a fan of Ms. Mosiman's particular brand of horror, thriller and macabre novels so I always look forward to a new one or finding one I haven't read. I find her writing tight, well paced, which keeps me coming back for more.In "Mourning Mansion" the protagonist decides to build an edifice to his wealth and talent along the gulf coast. So enamored is he of his own self-worth he builds a home fit for a minor royal. Huge, elegant and stately, at least in his own mind, he builds it with no lack of attention to detail and in absolute perfection. His party house now complete he adds bars to all the windows and a safe room. Assured of his privacy he can now go about his life in the manner to which his newly acquired wealth has allowed him to become accustomed.But bars to keep people out can also be a prison those within as he and his young companion are about to discover. As he slips further into his own madness how many will take the downward spiral with him?Another winner for Ms. Mosiman as she takes us on a journey into madness, murder and mayhem.Karen Bryant DoeringParents' Little Black BookMistBlueEeyore@gmail.com
