Caveat Emptor is a ghost story in which a living nightmare becomes a symbol of a cathartic pilgrimage for one woman. Diane, her husband, and their two boys buy a home in a New England coastal town. She soon discovers the house is haunted, which pits her against her husband, who does not believe in the afterlife. For Diane, reality and the supernatural merge. She becomes trapped in a world of terror—at sleep, by the cryptic fantasy of her dreams, filled with mysterious symbols; awake, by the horrifying visits of an unknown shade. Suspense builds as the intensity of the visitations increase. Diane’s isolation grows but she realizes the only way to prove her sanity and end the hauntings is to uncover the identity of the spirit and bring it peace. She quickly becomes entangled in a web of deceit and intriguing folklore, unknowingly alerting the killer of her intentions to solve the mystery.

Easy reading beach book,
By Jeanette (Bristol, RI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Caveat Emptor (Paperback)
If you are looking for a book to read at the beach...this is it. You will be able to finish it in one day! I bought this book because it was listed in my local newspaper as having a lot of local landmarks from our town that one would recognize. Well, it listed two that I could tell....and the author changed the names of these landmarks (Mt. Hope Bridge became Mt. Hood Bridge. Common Fence Point became Common Gate Point) I didn't understand why. I also kept thinking about Scooby Doo Mysteries while reading it...especially at the end. It was a very easy read but it lacked something....what, I don't know. Seemed to come up empty for me.

Very good reading!,

This review is from: Caveat Emptor (Paperback)
Diane and Doug Garant purchased the house at the end of Hopeworth Street with pride. They had two young sons named Thomas and Marc. As they began to settle in, the small town residents began telling Diane about the tragic history of their new home. The owners before them had been elderly. One died of fright. The other had been found at the bottom of the stairs. Before them, two male friends from the military had owned the house. They disappeared suddenly. Some say they were lost at sea which bordered the property. Others claim the two met with foul play. Diane had always been sensitive to the after life. Since her husband was a skeptic, Diane had learned to keep silent, least he believe her crazy. Yet she knew that their new home was haunted by an unknown and restless spirit. Diane had to figure out WHO the spirit was and what it wanted, before her family became another tragic piece of the house's history. **** Caveat Emptor is Latin and means Buyer Beware. This is a wonderful ghost story that sent chills down my spine. A short read of 133 pages, so it is a great way to spend a rainy afternoon or evening. Chapter One is a vision of Diane's and had me a bit confused. However, once I finished the book I went back and reread the chapter and realized that the author had given a few subtle clues. You mystery fans out there may want to pay very close attention to the first chapter. Diane, needless-to-say, is the main character. The reader follows her as she tracks down the history of her home. For a small town, not many people are friendly. Neighbors are far apart. Woods surround the home and a path leads down to the beach, so Diane's family is pretty isolated. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED READING! ****
