BLURB:

In 1693, the settlers on the small Maine island of Sanctuary were betrayed to their enemies and slaughtered. Since then, the island has known three hundred years of peace.

Until now. For men are descending on Sanctuary, their purpose to hunt down and kill the wife of their leader and retrieve the money that she stole from him. All that stands in their way are a young rookie officer, Sharon Macy, and the island's strange, troubled policeman, the giant known as Melancholy Joe Dupree. But Joe Dupree is no ordinary policeman. He is the guardian of the islands's secrets, the repository of it's memories. He knows that Sanctuary has been steeped in blood once; it will tolerate the shedding of innocent blood no longer.

COMMENT:

This is a great story. Chilling in the extreme, not least because much of the terror is caused by the base cruelty of an abusive husband. Mix this with revengeful ghosts and you have one scary tale!

Some of the plot was fairly predictable, which is why I gave it a seven, but there were some twists as well.

All in all a good read.
