Too many mysteries

A Review by Danielle: The main characters are Peter, Marnie, and Clare. Peter and Marnie move to a new house called Stoneycraig. Something weird was going on but they had no logical explanation for it. Clare, someone who's lived in the city her whole life wants to help. ... in some way she had made it even harder to figure out the truth. I really liked this book, it was so interesting and surprising. But, it had too many mysteries to call it a horror book.

A thrilling ghost story and murder mystery.

As Marnie and Peter race to discover the secrets of Stoneycraig, readers will anxiously turn the pages. Fine writing, a likable hero and heroine, and genuine suspense make this a fine read for young adult readers and their parents.Be sure to read Ms. Rice's other novels, which include "The Listeners", "The Year the Wolves Came", and the "Class Trip" books.

Suspenseful and unpredictable--a real page turner!

"Music from the Dead" is a wonderful mystery/ghost story. The hero and heroine are appealing. The house is truly creepy. The solution to the mystery is a real surprise. Be sure to read Bebe Faas Rice's other novels, which include "The Year the Wolves Came" and "The Listeners".
