barry_x's review against another edition
4.0
Perhaps doesn't have the emotional punch or depth of storytelling as Cold Bath Street, and some of the story seemed rushed in places and stretched in others.
That said, I enjoyed the book and once again we delved into Preston's ghostly heritage and the wonderful legend that is Written Stone Lane. I also really appreciated the little historical touches that rooted the novel in a real place and time.
Also, a big plus are the two teenage main characters. I really cared about them and really rooted for them to have a chance of a future together.
