Eric stepped deeper into the shadow of a moss-bearded tree and watched the window ... It wasn't the first time he had stared at the tiny oblong of screen from across the street, but it was the first time he had the uncanny feeling that he himself was being watched. He stifled a giggle. The watcher being watched...

Suspense, mystery and a surprise ending...
This book is impossible to ignore, I read it in one day/night and still find myself rereading it over and over. there is so much depth and wisdom to be plumbed, that you will find yourself pondering the many 'hidden', dual meaning/messages for many weeks.
Esther Luttrell is a gifted writer and story teller. Thoroughly well written, delightful to read and very entertaining. I have already re-read this 3 times and have enjoyed it each time. You will not be disappointed reading this book.
Man! Esther Luttrell really knows how to write a novel.
The Haunting had me totally overwhelmed with a need for more from Ms. Luttrell. It was really riveting. The book had me fully intrigued. Imagine being on the desolate stretch of roadway at night in these times refusing the convenience of a cellphone. Your excuse being, "How'd you and the rest of the world make it all those years without the danged things?"
It's lines like, "It had always been Mark. It will always be Mark". And, "Says he's got splinters in his fingers. I told him to quit scratchin' his head". Oh, Esther, you're good.
I love this book!
The Haunting of Leigh Maxwell will keep you glued to the story page after page. I think part of this is because the character of Leigh is so real. She could be one of your friends or neighbors, someone who unknowingly becomes involved in a suspenseful situation that makes her suspicious of even those closest to her. Leigh fights through her fear, hoping to discover the source of some very strange events. The book kept me frantically cheering for her to the very last page.
Revenge is Fun series. Millions of dollars are missing from the Venice Canals HOA and so are the Vice President and Treasurer. Were they kidnapped? Where is the money? Twists galore and a surprise ending with humor along the way.
