It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

ChiKat also sent me a review of "Weaver" I didn't know existed. From the Tampa Tribune, back in March:
Mysteries are being written within all kinds of genres these days. Grabien's little book weaves a ghostly romantic murder mystery around an old folk song and comes up with a spooky ghost story told in a gripping narrative. Ringan Laine is a British folk musician who accidentally becomes a tenant of an old cottage on a country estate in Somerset. He soon learns why the cottage has remained empty for so many years when right away he is confronted with ghostly occurrences in the house and the nearby barn. When his longtime lover, Penny, joins him, together they try to find out what has kept these unhappy spirits tied to the house for so long. The investigation eventually leads them to a double murder committed in 1817 - the subject of a folk song familiar to Ringan, since he had performed it with his group many times. He calls in his friends to help exorcise the murdered lovers, thereby engaging them all in an exciting, haunted confrontation that involves history, music and danger. The chilling encounters with the ghosts are especially well-written.
It would have been nice to have found this one at the time. I really have to check Lexis more often....

Interesting word trivia: I just came across a book called The Returned Backslider dated 1639. I had no idea the word Backslider was so old.

Happy day for the internet wife. And Timelies!(I've been up, of course, but I got suckerpunched by Lehane and sucked into lengthy correspondence with someone.)

Because books.
Peeking in while the baby plays under the desk...
What a lovely review, Deb! Very well-deserved, of course. And the one for Weaver is great, too. You could cull something from both to put on the cover for Mattie, couldn't you?
Dives under the desk before the baby unplugs the computer...
