Suicidal paranormal investigator loses girl, finds ghost, loses ghost, finds love. Throw in a kid with an interesting disease that won't let him be in the sunlight, Abenaki indians protecting a burial ground and human engineering in Vermont (which Hitler used later as a basis for genetic cleansing)and you've got a pretty good story. My only beef is that it seemed to drag in places and I think the writing could have been tighter. Obviously though Ms. Picoult is a very successful author so there's a lot of people that have loved her book.
This was the first supernatural book I ever read, and it definitely turned me on to reading more. It is a good read, however, slow at times. I think Jodi Picoult is a great author, who tells great stories, but they are sometimes predictable as this one was.
