Mystery by Moonlight
Mystery by Moonlight | Mary C. Jane
4 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
In sunshine the old deserted house is a friendly landmark, and Gail even uses a shed on its grounds as a secret haven where she can write her poems. But by moonlight the house becomes eerie and terrifying. One night as Gail walks past it, a sudden sharp sound of knocking makes her whirl around. Someone seems to be trying to catch her attention, yet there is nothing but moonlit lawns and ghostly white walls to be seen. Where did that knocking sound have come from? And the weird voices -- whose can they be? When Gail wakes the next morning, she jumps out of bed. It is Saturday and she plans to do some writing. Then suddenly she remembers. Perhaps she shouldn't use the old shed as her secret room after hearing those noises and voices the night before... The highly original and intriguing explanation of this mystery leads Gail and her friend, Conan, to the solution of a series of robberies as well. A picturesque New England setting and some unusually attractive and believable characters make this suspenseful story one of Mrs. Jane's best.

I reread this book every year, right around this time. Such a sweet story. I can always see why I fell in love with it all those years ago. A bookish girl! A mysterious house! The sheer gentleness of this author‘s books are so soothing. Another book read for #BookSpinBingo!

The pic is of my original copy. Look at that worn cover.

TheAromaofBooks I have this exact same book, but I'm not sure that I've ever read it!! I picked it up eons ago at a booksale, along with several of Mary Jane's other books! 4y
MittenGirlPeach @TheAromaofBooks ahhhhh, I love her books! I have several originals of my own, and I sought out all the rest over the years, so I have a complete set. 4y

Sadly, no. When we first moved out here in the 90s I stocked up in case anyone stopped (I grew up in a rural area, and car trick or treating was a thing) but it wasn‘t to be. Eventually we had kids nearby we were close to and I made them a Halloween basket every year, which was fun.

I bought an Autumn themed phone case! Halloween is not a big holiday for me, but I think we all need extra joy this year. I even bought Halloween lights. 🎃

TheSpineView Thanks for playing! 🧡🎃 4y

It‘s nearly time for #BookSpin! It was so much fun in September. So, without further ado, here is my October list. 25 books this time, all mysteries/gothic, cuz, you know. I‘ll use the list for #screamathon as well. But I‘ll admit I don‘t normally like anything to do with horror, so I‘ll just enjoy the #scarathalon posts.
The tagged book was my favorite as a tween, and I reread it every October. I own all of Jane‘s books, many bought as an adult.

TheAromaofBooks Yay!!! 4y
