Summary: Not Too Bad of a Mystery-Ending Could Have Been Better
Comment: Overall, I did enjoy this book.It was a book that made you wonder what might happen to the lost girl next.
Released from prison after losing his sight, and then incarcerated in a once-deserted home at the edge of the woods, Ellie Weir is under constant surveillance electronically. They say it is a fail-proof system and that he can't possibly escape
But this isn't so.
Abigail, Nora's ten year-old girl wanders over to the deserted home one day with the fence. But once inside the gate around it, she never returns home. Quinn Gallagher, the police/detective is trying to solve the case, as she is convinced that somehow Ellie must be holding Kate somewhere. And she needs to do it before it's too late.

Summary: a great story if you can stay on track
Comment: Not to be confused with the film, "House on Haunted Hill", The House on the Hill is about a blind convict, living in a formerly condemned house, who's crime involved raping young girls. The tale is told non-narritvely through three characters: a cop, a mother, and her daughter.
If you're looking for a scary book, this is it. The situations of the kidnapped daughter are especially terrifying as you never know what is going to happen next. The only problem really is that the story can get confusing -- it took me awhile to figure out which house I was looking out of on the cover. I know that sounds lame, but it's just an example.
Rating: 2
Summary: Good mystery / thriller author hard to find
Comment: This is the first novel from the author that I have read. The book started out very good, in fact is was good up until Quinn and Levitsky got caught following the psychopath from his house. It literally falls apart at that point. It seemed as though the author lost site of where she was going or just got tired of the task. A mystery should hold you until the very end and also clean up the loose ends left dangling.
