The Seance by Joan Lowery Nixon

"Crying is a luxury, and I take my luxuries in private by myself. There are two ways of crying—on the outside and on the inside—and I've been crying on the inside most of my life."

Synopsis:

A séance leads to murder!

Lauren had nothing to do with the séance. In the dark, she senses the presence of evil. And when the lights come on, her fear turns to shock: Her friend Sara is missing, even though all the doors and windows are locked . . . from the inside.

Sara's body is found in the swamp next morning, but that's not the end of the nightmare. When a second girl from the séance is murdered, Lauren realizes she must figure out what's happening—or she may end up the next victim.

Thoughts:

*Sigh* I expected a lot of thrilling action from this book. I was really excited when I read the synopsis but the story ended too quickly. The author could have done more for this book. I wish there was an elaborate background story about the killer—a better psychological twist, perhaps? Further sprinkles of the paranormal here and there wouldn't hurt either.
