I have to say first off that this book is not one of his best books, but also not one of his worst. I have to say I did read this book in about 2 days as there were some bits where I just could not put it down. The book by no means is short it is 660 pages long and most of them are of pure entertainment.
The story is about a writer called Mike Noonan, in the story his wife sudden dies while running to help someone in a car crash. If this is not bad enough for Mike he founds out his wife is pregnant after trying for years of having a baby.
Mike then starts to suffer from desperate writer's block and is drawn through many a hellish year until he decides to pack up and move to his summer home, Sara Laughs, which is situated in the beautiful state of Maine along the lake. The irony of this is, that this beautiful lakes side home has been haunting him in his dreams for months before he decided to move there.
However, when Mike does make it back to his lake side town he finds that the once familiar town now in a tyrannical grip of a millionaire Max Devore. Max Devore is a desperate to get custody of his deceased son’s child and is twisting the fabric of the community to this purpose.
With a number of unusual situations and Mike ending up saving the life of the deceased son's child (Kyra) Mike decided to help Kyra and her mother Mattie. This however because an almost fatal mistake, and with the help of Max and sinister forces at Sara a number of unusual and interesting this happen to Mike, Mattie, and Kyra. And with the help of the refrigerator people and the ghosts haunting Sara Laughts will Mike be able to unlock the secret before the house get him??
I have to say that this book is quite a read and well worth it, the ending is a bit of an anti-climax in a way however it is very good. At certain parts in the book I could even feel the hairs on the back of my neck go up, this book is definitely not one to read at night.
