This s a ghost story, romance and mystery all wrapped up in one book.  Jackie Conner, plagued by writers' block goes away with her David (she is not his wife and he is not her husband) to break the block. The big buzz at the B&B they stay at is the Winserly Family legend, where, after a fight over indiscretions, Bradley Winserly's mistress, kills his wife. They somehow are buried in the same cemetery, with a narrow path separating their grave sites, and their spirits never really go to rest because of this. Captivated by this tale, Jackie figures this could be her next novel. As the story unfolds, we see that David is not as much into the supernatural as Jackie, which leads to complications in their relationship. I found the story very interesting and intriguing. The plot moves along smoothly and quickly, as the reader also becomes enmeshed in this weird family story/secret. One good point about this story is its length.  Because it is not all that long (almost a novella), there is no room for the author to "beat around the bush" adding red herrings that do not lend to the story and only serve to make it a drag. The story contains, as I said, the elements of several genres, which will broaden its appeal, to readers with a myriad of tastes and likes.  I received this from Library Thing to read and review.
