"This House is Haunted" is an enjoyable, if somewhat predictable at times, ghost story. If you're familiar with the genre, the plot won't hold too many surprises. But the narrator, Eliza Caine, is a young woman of determination and courage, definitely not the "damsel in distress" type.

This is the first book by Boyne that I've read, and I enjoyed it enough that I may try reading others. If you're looking for an entertaining, classic ghost story type story to read, this one may be what you're looking for.
