The Haunting

I love Joan Lowery Nixon. I remember reading a lot of her books when I was in middle school. I did not remember reading this book, so was excited when I picked it out of our tin for book of the week. I was a little disappointed that it took so long to get into the haunted house. The characters in the book kept talking about the house being haunted at night, etc. but it wasn't until almost the end of the book when Lia finally goes into the house at night. I would have liked to hear more of the horrors at night from one of the new owners. I love the reference to Edgar Allan Poe...I am a big Poe fan. I kind-of guessed the ending, but had the wrong story. I was thinking "The tell-tale heart". Overall, a fun read.
