The Ghost Orchid: A Novel by Carol GoodmanMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
This book was very entertaining and easy to read. The book was about a wanna-be author, Ellis, who had been accepted into a writer's retreat program at the notorious Bosco Estate where many famous authors go to be inspired. While there, Ellis uncovers a tangled web of terrible things that happened at the estate and awakens many restless spirits in the process.
The story was a cleverly woven mystery alternately set in the present day and 100-or-so years ago detailing events that happened at one very creepy estate. The story was a bit too campfire ghost story for me, but it was good enough to scare me during a stormy evening. I think it was also a bit too predictable for me but it didn't keep me from getting lost in the story. While it was not my favorite book, it was highly entertaining so I gave it three stars.

Definitely a bit campfire ghost story, but I enjoyed it as well. I liked Goodman's Night Villa better. Also read The Drowning Tree by her which was decent, but Night Villa was my favorite.
Thanks for book suggestions. My list of "to read" is getting long!
