The last person who was sent to find her died before he could complete his mission.

I loved the book and wished it went on a bit longer. The subject was intensely interesting and the plot held me throughout. The narrator also did a fantastic job with voices.

When young Gus LeGarde befriends a cranky old hermit in the woods who speaks to an Oneida Indian spirit named Penaki, he wonders if the man is nuts. But when Penni rattles tin cups, draws on dusty mirrors, and flips book pages, pestering them to find evidence to avenge her past and free her from earthly bondage, things change.

I don't want to give away too much of the plot, but I have to say I love young Gus and his adventures. I must admit I could tell what was coming, but I still enjoyed the book. I love this particular narrator and think he does a wonderful job of portraying many different characters. Sometimes you wonder if it's someone else's voice!

Best of Lazar
Reviewed: 05-20-16
I have read or listened to nearly every one of Aaron Paul Lazar's books, and this one was the best of them. I was captivated and could not wait to get through the entire story. This is a must read/listen! I would highly recommend the entire Green Marble Mysteries series and to read/listen to them in order. You will be invested into the characters and fall in love with them and with Sam Moore. Enjoy!

They say it's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. Finn McGraw disagrees. He was just 17 when he had a torrid summer affair with the girl who stole his heart - and then turned on him. Now, 10 years later, he's got more than his lost love to worry about. A horrific accident turns his life upside down, resurrecting the ghosts of his long-dead family and taking the lives of the few people he has left. Finn always believed his estranged brother was responsible for the fire that killed their family - but an unexpected inheritance throws everything he knows into doubt.

Would you consider the audio edition of The Seacrest to be better than the print version?
I haven't read the print version.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Seacrest?
The most memorable moment involved Finn and Libby's husband, but I won't expand on it because I don't want to spoil it for anyone. Just know that it is exciting, terrifying, and incredible all at the same time.
Which character – as performed by George Kuch – was your favorite?
My favorite character was Finn.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Love, Betrayal and Forgiveness
Any additional comments?
The author's captivating prose is enough to keep anyone's attention. The only problem is that sometimes the dates were wrong in the audio, so it made the timeline a bit confusing. Other than that, it was a great story.
