![]() ![]() Daphne, Vera, and James aren’t likable characters. ![]() I wasn’t a fan of Gailey’s The Echo Wifeand was pretty nervous to read Just Like Home because of that, but the pretty cover drew me in, and I’m a sucker for haunted house books so there was really no denying that I would read it. Dealing with her own complicated feelings for her father as more strange things occur in the Crowder House, Vera will have to face them whether she wants to or not. And when Vera starts finding notes in her father’s handwriting, she can’t help but wonder where they’ve come from. James sees himself as a medium through his artwork and insists that there is something in the house, possibly the spirit of her long dead father. But all isn’t right at the Crowder House, for one her mother Daphne is much sicker than Vera believed, and James Duvall, an artist, is living in the shed. ![]() Because Vera is the daughter of Francis Crowder, a notorious serial killer, and with that kind of heritage Vera is no stranger to the animosity she gets from strangers and the people in her old hometown. But home means the Crowder House, the house her father built, and though Vera felt much comfort there growing up it has it’s own bodies buried there, literally. After getting a call from her estranged, dying mother to come home Vera Crowder does, because that’s what a good daughter would do. ![]()
