A review by teresaalice
The Family Plot by Cherie Priest

3.0

3.5 stars. I don't often read horror stories, but the synopsis of this one caught my eye. Like another review said ghost hunters meets HGTV. Music city salvage wins the bid to tear out the most valuable pieces of the Withrow estate, which the owner, Augusta Withrow is eager, almost too eager, to unload on them. As soon as they get there, Dahlia and her crew start feeling uneasy despite the grandiosity of the place. As the history of the estate is laid bare, and some of its former occupants begin to introduce themselves, the story soon turns from
Home Improvement to my stuff of nightmares, like the tv show "that's incredible" from my childhood that produced many sleepless nights. Though the story is unique and you come to really like the characters, the ending is so predictable to me that it somewhat ruins the whole book.
