Finished Mr. Jones by Edith Wharton recently. Quite well done and sufficiently spooky. The teaser on the back of the book reads: "When Lady Jane Lynke unexpectedly inherits Bells, a beautiful country estate, she declares she'll never leave the peaceful grounds and starts to make the house her home. But she hasn't reckoned on the obstinate Mr. Jones, who haas instructed the caretakers to deny all entry - yet is nowhere to be found."
Today I read, and finished, An Eddy On the Floor by Bernard Capes. This one was exceptional and got into my head. For this the teaser reads: "A man receives an unexpected appointment as doctor at the local prison. But when a terrified inmate begs to be moved, the young doctor begins to question his good fortune: The cell adjacent the frightened man has been boarded up for years - and no one will let the doctor inside."
I always enjoy Seth's illustrations.
