Was it coincidence that brought them together – or a ghost with a purpose?
About the Book: After Samantha Hayes and her students uncover a death on campus, they must draw on everything from science to seances to learn what happened before Samantha gets fired for dabbling in the paranormal.
Our Review: Set on a college campus, with all the underlying themes of political machinations, angst about grad school and GRE’s, plus the presence—or maybe not—of a mysterious spirit, this story hits all the high notes. The Spirit of Vanderlaan features a well-drawn, intriguing cast of characters whose goals, motivation and conflict are clear from page one. If you are one who dreams with fondness over the ‘days of yore’, you’ll love this one for the revered college professor who draws students in like a magnet. On the other hand, if returning to your college days would happen only if someone held a gun to your head, you’ll still love it. The antagonist is particularly well drawn for subtlety and underlying evil. Well done!
Based on a scale of 1-5, The Spirit of Vanderlaan merits a 6.
