James Avonleigh's Reiko - A Japanese Ghost Story had me hooked from the first page and guessing to the end.  An interesting and very different take on ghost stories looks into cultural differences in the paranormal.  Like comparing movies such as The Ring an The Grudge to American horror movies this book is a very different and pleasant change.  A British student and scholar comes to Japan.  His research lands him straight into a perplexing case involving the suicide of his predecessor, mysterious deaths, a missing student, and a frightened community.  Slow moving and gentle the story still has that ominous feel from beginning to end.  I highly recommend it.
