Re: Spackled And Spooked

We've been in the process of fixing up our 100-year-old house for quite some time now. We still have a long way to go. So, this book sounds absolutely just the right read for me!

What an interesting storyline. Will have to check this one out!

We've renovated two houses ( one a 100 yr old) & have found some interesting "memorabilia". Taking down paneling to find ballerinas dancing across the walls, with a few drawn in flowers. Then doing the same in another bedroom to find "Old MacDonald's farm" with drawn in animals & a rocket or two. Nothing more sinister than an empty whiskey bottle & broken toys, old keys (what did they open),a dish or two..a mini archeological find. Fun & mystery for us, making the hard work more of an adventure. Your book definitely sounds like a "good read"!

While I haven't been able to visit places, I do agree, I've wanted to do so, based on stories I've read, Elizabeth Peters being a notable one! Of course, I wanted to BE Amelia Peabody, what woman doesn't?
