Melody Murray's Books

I've always liked the reflecting balls that decorate certain lawns. My dad and I decided a long time ago that the owners of same belonged to a secret club or coven, and the different colors denoted different levels of initiation into the Mysteries. We came up with some genuinely scary scenarios, some of which involved Very Sharp Knives.This book, with a haunted reflecting ball at its center, didn't scare me. It seemed to me to be mostly a love story with a top-dressing of ghostliness. I didn't connect with the narrator or the young girl, Jane. I didn't get the love interest's appeal. I liked the grandmother and the cook and the senior Dr. Adam, but I'm afraid I didn't like the book very much at all.
