Spooky, Spunky and Sad: This One Touches All of the Emotions,
By A Customer
This review is from: My Name is Polly Winter (Library Binding)
Readers who like books which evoke a wide variety of emotions won't be disappointed in My Name is Polly Winters, a wonderfully chilling novel by Veronica Black, author of the Sister Joan mystery series. Often classified as a gothic suspense novel, this is a book that actually transcends genres. On one hand, readers who enjoy Steven King novels will enjoy the spooky and seemingly supernatural goings-ons in an English country house where the heroine, a spunky modern-day researcher-writer, has taken up temporary lodging. Along the way, she encounters sights and sounds which would chill even the most intrepid, and begins to question her own sanity. Are the goings on supernatural based somehow in the past? Or is the heroine the only sane person in the house where the horrors she encounters are based solidly in the present? Who is the mysterious child who seems to haunt her? Does she live in the past or the present and what horrors befell her? The suspense builds until the shocking climax where we find that the past and the present are never truly as diverse as they may seem. Like Abigail Padgett's Bo Bradley mystery series, My Name is Polly Winters features child abuse as one theme and will also appeal to fans of Padgett's books, as well as to readers who enjoy a good, old-fashioned scary read.
