I recently reread this, remembering that it had been one of my favorites in the series, and was not disappointed. The author managed a modern, but gothic, setting by making the main building of the condo/ golf course a castle and adding a lake, swans, and a spooky waterfall. Unrealistic, but it works for me! Philippa and her mom move to this place which Phil has been dreaming about ever since she can remember. Disturbing things begin to happen to them when Phil determines to dig into the castle's tragic past. How that past, Phil's dreams and memories, and Phil's own past entwine makes for a fascinating book. ( )
