Summary: An unexpected shiver in my spine
Comment: Can I use the exclamation WOW?
Well I just did didn't I?
Shivering Sand! My review..You have a strong willed plain but something about her pulls me to her, woman, who use her past to help control her future.
In the process she governs three girls (and a fourth) in a home as someone else.
She was a well known piano player before being shadowed by her husband, who was the best piano player, who died, before or after a concert (I'm not telling). Acting as someone else she is there only to solve the disapearance of her sister. In come the handsome and very rich son, with a past he feels in fault of.
Does she falls in love?
What happened to her sister?
What is this man secret?
Will she tell everyone her TRUE identity?
I turned each page to find out what happen. An unexpected plot ran shivers up and down my spine.
I was not expecting this, and i think you wouldn't either...

Summary: What a mystery
Comment: A couple years ago, I found this book in a box of other used books each selling for a couple quarters and decided I'd buy it for my mother's birthday. I guess I secretly wanted to read it myself, but it was lost in the shuffle of things before either of us was given the chance to read it. Recently, I went to New Hampshire, and found it in my family's cabin. If you're someone who, like me, does in fact judge a book by it's cover, you would have been drawn to this book immediately. The 1969 edition that I have (I guess my mother didn't want it after all) has a painting on the cover of a girl standing on a cliff over the waves smashing into the rocks below. This scene was what persuaded me into reading the first page.
What a mystery. A widow works incognito as a piano teacher to solve the mystery of her sister's disappearance. The title may give it away, but throughout the book, the reader is given many chances to figure out who, how, and why before it is actually revealed. There is an eerie "haunted" mansion, lots of shocking secrets, desire, and many disturbing encounters. This was a perfect introduction to Victoria Holt. Read it, you'll like it.

Summary: A Classic Gothic
Comment: Victoria Holt does it again in yet another spectcular Gothic romance, full of suspense and chilling atmosphere. A very good read for those cozy nights by the fire...
