Review: Haunting

A sad and somewhat creepy character portrait. While the supernatural elements didn't work for me (possibly because we only hear about them from the disturbed main character, so it's hard to believe they're real), the psychological ones did. I felt for the main character, but would have liked to see her try to reach out and help the girl she observes at the beginning of the tale, though I suppose it's telling that she didn't. I also would have liked to know more about how she left the United States and ended up in Malta. The writing is smooth and compelling, and I was caught up in the story. Though it didn't leave the chill that I think the writer intended, the story was haunting.
