Cherie's Reviews > The Tale of Halcyon Crane

Hallie is a young woman who was raised by her father, who told her that her mother had died when Hallie was little. Hallie suddenly receives info that her mother that her mother has been alive all these years, until just recently. Hallie travels to a remote island where her mother has lived, to meet the attorney in charge of her mother's estate, and to unravel family secrets. It does not take her long to discover there are ghosts of the past, literally. This is a gothic feeling ghost story, with no horror mixed in, that was very enjoyable. My only complaint is that the ending while it wrapped up all questions and was satisfactory, it was just a little too tidy. I kept wondering how the author could possibly end this story, but there really was not much choice left for the author other than how she did it.
