This is about Tess, a woman/medium who visits a haunted retreat after her husband dies, and finds herself embroiled in the mystery of a female spirit who cries in the night. The place is a bed/breakfast type resort where she thought she could go to get away from her grief and memories. She meets some interesting people there who find her interesting as well, because she seems to be able to communicate with the dead. For many years the owners of the resort and many of their guests have felt the place was haunted. Some of the guests are attracted by the theory of ghosts at the establishment, but most that encounter the cries of despair in the night, are disturbed by it. The owners want normalcy, and want Tess to help them achieve it.This had potential. I found it enjoyable initially but it just dragged on too long. I've been reading it for weeks now, and have strayed away to read other things, then come back to it. I hate to give up on a book, but this could've and should've been shorter.
