Completely agree! Even in the review we get a real sense of place and time and so many authors are unable to do that even half as well. Thanks for the very thorough and interesting review!PashaRu wrote:Thanks for a nice review. The way the Texas Hill Country is described sounds appealing. Almost enough all by itself to merit reading the book.

I was wondering about this, too! I guess we will have to read the book to find out. This is a great review. I love getting a feel of a location when reading. I've been known to read travel guides just for that reason. I think location can really add to a story.Stevefromtheblock wrote:Thanks for the review. You mentioned a mysterious dog. Is that the dog from the title? Does it play a large role in the story?
As an aside, I have a dog, and her name is Zelda!

Lisalovecraft - You will have to read the book to find out! I really like books where the location comes alive in the story. In this case, the author lives in Texas Hill Country, so she is a "resident expert".

All this chatting about this book, and now I am really itching to read Ghost Cave, the first installment in this series. I am stretched a bit thin reading-wise recently. I just finished Forever Twelve (BOTM), still reading my review selection, and starting to read All the Light We Cannot see (in-person Book Club). My in-person Book Club's meeting is this Saturday, so I'd better buckle down with that book!
