Ravenwood was the name of a nightmare Laura Roswell didn't understand. Yet the forbidding mansion was eerily familiar.
Laura never guessed the dark secrets it sheltered until a spectral voice awakened her from a recurring dream of pursuit and capture, and led her to the thing she feared most...death.
Not even distrubingly handsome fellow guest Jake Wallace could create a sancturary for her. And when Laura uncovered evidence of a mysterious death twenty years before, her mounting suspicion became a chilling certainty.
Someone was calling for justice - calling upon Laura - from beyond the grave.
Ruth Glick (born 1942) is a best-selling author of healthy cookbooks and has also written dozens of romantic suspense romance novels under the pen name Rebecca York.
Ruth earned a B.A. in American Thought and Civilization from George Washington University and an M.A. in American Studies from the University of Maryland. Although she always wanted to become a writer, Glick was convinced that her lack of spelling skills meant that her goal was unattainable. As a stay-at-home mother, she took a community college course to help her choose a career. The course made it very clear that writing was her primary interest. Glick began writing articles for newspapers and magazines, but after several years decided to try writing fiction. Her first book, a kids' science fiction book, was finally purchased by Scholastic Inc..
Since then, Glick has become a highly successful author of over 50 romantic suspense and paranormal novels. Many of her novels are published under the Harlequin Intrigue line, and in June 2003, she became one of the first authors published under Berkley's new Sensation imprint. Before 1997, she often collaborated with Eileen Buckholtz and Kathryn Jenson.
Glick also is a highly regarded author of cookbooks focusing on healthy eating. She sometimes hires trained chefs to test the recipes that she creates, and makes sure that every recipe is tested at least three times before it appears in one of her cookbooks.
Glick is the head of the Columbia Writers Workshop. She and her husband, Norman Glick, live in Columbia, Maryland, where Ruth collects rocks, and enjoys cooking, walking, reading, gardening, travel, and Mozart operas. They have two grown children, Elissa and Ethan, and two grandsons (Jesse and Leo).
This book started out a little bit like a game of clue which was pretty fun. As was the case with the first 2 books, we have a couple characters with interesting jobs that make us want to read them. Throw in a haunted house and a conspiracy and you have yourself an entertaining little read.
Whispers in the Night by Rebecca York is a suspenseful read. Ms York has penned a book that is well-written, a smooth read. Her characters are amazing. There is plenty of drama, suspense, humor and spice to keep the pages turning. Laura and Jake's story is a fast paced read that will keep you glued to the book from cover to cover. I enjoyed Whispers in the Night and look forward to my next book by Rebecca York. Whipsers in the Night are part of the 43 Light Street series but can be read as a standalone. This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger.
(Suspense/Romance 1991) The beautiful heroine and the handsome stranger who rescues her from the scary events. Some horror overtones. Read out of order, of course.
