The Grave Artist has that and lots more.  There was mystery, a little bit of romance, plot twists and turns and a very human, believable, flawed and endearing heroine.Clare starts out pretty bitter, angry, confused and hurt and she has cause.  Life hasn't been easy for her the last year and she's made some pretty bad choices and decisions in dealing with it.  Something I think we can all relate to in some way.One of the great things about this book, along with the ghost story, and mystery is watching Clare come to terms with her new life and maybe grow up some along the way. Hey, she's a teenager, she still messes up!  But I think by the end of the book she realizes that her parents and all other "adults" are human and fallible too and maybe she can cut them some slack :)Clare and "Gollum" are great characters and there are some other great peripheral characters too.I totally agree with the book review that says this book reads like it was written by a much more experienced author.  Bravo on The Grave Artist and I look forward to reading more by Paula Lynn Johnson!I received a free copy of this book in order to review it.
