There was an old Woman
by: Hallie Ephron
When her mom falls ill and is hospitalized, Evie Ferrante returns to her childhood home to help out. What she discovers is shocking. The house is in total disrepair, filled with junk, unopened mail, and, strangely, a new flat-screen TV. Searching for answers, Evie turns to Mina, the feisty nonagenarian next door. Together, the two dig for clues and uncover disturbing evidence that all is not well in Higgs Point, New York.
I had to look up this word, I had no idea what it meant.
(nonagenarian: a person who is from 90-99 years old.)
I loved the Title of this book, it just sounded so creepy!! Well, the book was good, but not nearly what I was hoping for. I figured out what was going on pretty quick into the book, so the mystery wasn't that mysterious. I found myself skimming over paragraphs to get to the next part, so it had a hard time really holding my full attention. I liked the characters, the plot line was good, but I think it could have really been developed into more. So, all in all, just an OK book.
3 out of 5 rating.
