Review: Not a bad idea...

A quick-reading ghost story set on the Oregon Coast, A Cry Out of Time seemed to go out of its way to keep from getting too scary. Esme seems immature for her age, prone to giggling and squealing, and the ghostly girl she encounters acts a little too modern to have died so long ago. The "mystery" of the ghost never really develops as such, resolving with the sudden introduction of an offstage character to explain it all, and seems to exist mostly to set Esme up for her presumed further adventures. For a lightweight timekiller, I've read worse, but I was expecting better.
