Friday Finds hosted by Should Be Reading asks us to share what great books we heard about or discovered in the past week.
My pick this week is a novel I found while browsing through Fantastic Fiction. It’s called The Boat House by Pamela Oldfield releasing October 1, 2010 by Severn House Publishers. Here’s a bit about it from Fantastic Fiction…
A gripping murder mystery set in Henley-on-Thames – 1912, Henley-on-Thames. Twenty-four-year old Marianne Lefevre is pleased to be taken on as a governess in the affluent Matlowe household. The young twins Emmie and Edie are bright and friendly, even if their grandmother, Georgina Matlowe, is a forbidding presence – and the whereabouts of the girls’ parents seems to be a closely-guarded secret. But Marianne soon grows concerned. Why are the children forbidden to go near the boat house at the end of the garden? Who is the ‘ghost’ they claim to have seen lurking there? And what really happened to their parents . . .?
Does this not sound great! Of course anything that involves a ghost is usually my cup of tea and this one does sound a bit creepy. How about you – did you find anything that caught your attention this week?
I haven't read any good ghost stories of late but this does sound good, I admit.
Happy reading, Dar!

I have read a couple of her books and found them charmingly old fashioned! This however sounds different – the ones I read were very pre WWW1.
