Jenna Ryan is a master at creating a creepy atmosphere and delivering an intricate story. "The Woman in Black" is no exception. When Samantha Giancarlo is summoned by a faded movie star who reveals that she's Sam's grandmother, Sam's life is suddenly put in danger by a mysterious woman in black who wants to kill the old star. Only our hero stands between her and certain death. Ryan manages to create a dozen clearly-defined personalities, tell a twisting mystery, and deliver a good love story all in 250 pages--no easy feat. The book may have a few flaws, but every page seems to drip with atmosphere. Not too many authors can have you shivering by the end of page one. That alone was enough for my money, though the rest was great as well. A terrific book for suspense and romance fans.
