This is a ghost story, but I would not classify it in the horror genre. As a few other reviewers have noted, it's a "cozy ghost/horror" novel, if such a genre exists. While there are a few dastardly deeds done in the past that need to be uncovered and righted, there is hardly anything scary, frightening, creepy or chilling that happens in the book. Or maybe I should say, there are, but the way they are written is so matter of fact that they end up feeling more like every day occurrences than anything horrific. This is exemplified by the fact that the two main characters begin investigating the possible hauntings going on with no more surprise, confusion or trepidation than a person would exhibit on a trip to the grocery store. There's also the fact that one character only makes a perfunctory attempt to keep his friends and their young daughter from coming to the haunted house, where all the signs are pointing to the fact that the ghost may do the girl great harm. No one in the book seems very afraid, so why should the reader?With all that being said, perhaps my main gripe with this book would be applicable to any book in any genre. That is, there is a huge plot hole involving how one character came to be in the position they did. Given the facts as set forth in the novel, there was no credible way or reason for this person to have ended up in this situation.I'm giving Property of a Lady three stars only because I did finish it.
I love to read. But in the past few years I've had a difficult time finding books that will hold my interest. I don't read romances, find most horror novels boring or gory, and just never "cozied up" to cozy mysteries. They are always corny and predictable. I love a good mystery, but not necessarily a police procedural. BUT I have always loved a good story about a haunted house. And Sarah Rayne delivers. It reminds me of old English novels, in that it meanders a bit...but in a good way...and she builds suspense beautifully. Wonderful character development and settings, too. She manages to take modern England and marry it to the sort of romantic vision of England created by mysteries in the 30's. Spooky, without being horror. I loved it. I will get the next one in the series.
First Sentence: Michael, Is there any possible change you could sneak a day or two away from Oxford and take a look at a house for me?Oxford Professor Michael Flint receives a letter from his American friends asking him to check out an old house in Shropshire that has been empty and derelict for years, but has been found to now belong to his friend’s wife. Charect House is in decidedly poor condition, but it’s more than that which causes Michael to be uncomfortable during his visit. Who is watching him? Why does he hear a clock ticking where there is none, and who is the woman captured at an attic window by his photograph? Things become even more puzzling when Michael meets antique dealer Nell West, a young widow with a daughter the same age as his friends’, and both girls are having the same nightmare, and ocean apart.Do you like “Ghost Hunters,†a show which tried first to debunk claims, or find a rational explanation for them and if they can’t, then it “might†be paranormal. That is the type of paranormal mystery you’ll find here? There is plenty to raise the hair on your arms, but it is not bloody, gory, and creepy. From the very beginning, and the definition of the house’s name, you know there will be suspense and things that go bump and in the night…and in the day.Rayne has such a natural voice. By opening with the exchange of letters, we learn quite a bit about Dr. Michael Flint. He is well educated, something of a luddite, and has a cat, Wilberforce, about whom he creates wonderful adventures. It is that sort of detail with does add humor and light to an otherwise eerie situation. Also, with Nell West and her daughter, we are provided their history, the tragedy that befell them, and how Nell rebuilt her life for the two of them.It is wonderful that the two characters are normal people; neither overly brave, but neither is foolhardy. It is curiosity—a desire for answers—that drives them on and wanting to ensure there will be safety. That there is a bit of a romance doesn’t hurt at all. But Rayne is also a very literary writer occasionally driving one to a dictionary…â€welter of jingoism…†or the internet to do research of one’s own.There is a very strong sense of place and atmosphere…â€The scent of age met Michael at once, and it was so strong that for a moment he felt his senses blur. But this was not the musty dankness of damp or rot; this was age at its best and most evocative; a potpourri of old seasons timbers and long-ago fires, and a lingering scent of dried lavender.â€This is a first book and it is not perfect. Although always interesting, there is too much “telling†through letters and diaries, than showing the reader the events. Even so, without the book being set in multiple time periods, I’m not certain that could have been avoided.“Property of a Lady†is a wonderful paranormal mystery with just the right balance of light and dark that leaves you with a “bump in the night†moment at the very end.PROPERTY OF A LADY (Par Mys-Michael Flint/Nell West-England-Contemp) – VGRayne, Sarah – 1st in seriesSevern House, 2011
As an avid reader my entire life, I thought I had long gotten over being scared by anything I read....Property of a Lady proved me wrong! I couldn't put this book down! For the first time in over 30 years, I was listening to the house settling with fearful anticipation. Every groan, creak, and shadow had me feeling that Property was coming out of the book, and into my room! If you enjoy mysteries, thrillers, and the paranormal this is the book for you. This book is told in the true sense of the "scary story" allowing your own imagination to do the dirty work. If you enjoy being scared, but don't like the gore and violence so prevalent in today's movies and books, you'll enjoy this book immensely!
The characters were well done and the atmosphere to it all is very creepy and unsettling. I could be wrong but the character of Michael Flint (who I thought was great) reminded me a lot of M.R. James. His occupation and his cat stories to a goddaughter I thought were amazingly alike in a good way. The little girl was a bit...L.M. Montgomery for me, though. I don't know how else to explain it. My only real complaint with the book (and it's a small one) is that the American friends have a very English way of speaking. Other than that the book is well-paced with very likeable characters and a creepy atmosphere. Definitely recommended.
This was an original story plot. Good characters, somewhat predictable but lots of twists to keep you guessing. Very enjoyable, looking forward to reading more Sarah Rayne books
