Florence, orphaned since she was five, has suddenly been contacted by her Great Uncle Thomas to come live with him and his sister, Eugenie. A year ago, Sophia died and Great Aunt Eugenie can't get over the death of her "sweet, darling" Sophia. Only Sophia wasn't so sweet. Also living in the house is Sophia's brother, James, who is sickly and stays in his room so he may recover from what ails him. As Florence settles into the routine at Crutchfield Hall, she hears a young girls taunting voice. Florence knows it is Sophia and Sophia has her ways of getting Florence in trouble with Great Aunt Eugenie. Now both Sophia's and James' lives are in danger. "Uncle said the dead did not return. He was wrong."
It was an okay ghost story. Nothing really fantastic. Hahn's "Closed for the Season" is better. The book had all the makings of a great ghost story but fell short.
