Time's Echo by Pamela Hartshorne

3.0

Not a masterpiece, but still very enjoyable. As I've written before, Hartshorne is a great storyteller who knows how to set fast paced and tight plots, build characters that are easy to identify with and high suspense throughout her novels. My only rant this time is that the plot is basically the same as in her latest book, The House of Shadows, which I've read before this one. This bothered me a lot at first, but I was so pulled in and cared so much for the characters that I enjoyed it anyway. In both books there is a young woman who is haunted by another young woman from the past, who is worried about the fate of their child. It worked amazingly well in The House of Shadows, and a little less well here, and the settings and times are different, but still - how many times can you pull the trick of hearing the ghost whisper the child's name? In BOTH books? Hartshorne is a fantastic writer and historian, but if this goes on in a third book, I'm out.
